    Use a Virtual Machine for Windows 10 instead of dual-booting. If you reject reformat-related options, then that's your only choice remaining.

  • If UEFI, just let Windows install to unallocated space. It wants lots of partitions and should install its boot loader files into an existing ESP - efi system partition. Be sure to have good backups. docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/…

We usually do the inverse, installed Ten and then Ubuntu with Grub. On Ryzen 2700U, Ubuntu 19.04 takes 2.5 minutes to install and Ten, less then 6 minutes.

  • You should have all that backed up anyway. User settings are all in /home, if system settings those will be in /etc. And you should be backing up list of installed apps if more than a very few. askubuntu.com/questions/2596/comparison-of-backup-tools

  • Then get an SSD caddy for 20$ and clean install Ten via its USB wire. No need to play with Grub.
