What does “Install alongside Window” do?
0
I want to install a PC with dual boot. It already has W10 installed on a small SSD, and would like Ubuntu to be installed on a partition my secondary disk, a 1TB HDD.
If I shrink the space on my secondary disk, will the "Install alongside Window Boot Manager" install it on the free space or it will automatically partition the SSD and install it there?

It is UEFI. I already deactivated fast boot, secure boot and all that stuff.
