I have windows 10 installed in C drive.I have the following partition:
C drive: 68.0 GB free of 148 GB
D drive: 50.1 GB free of 399 GB
E drive: 6.68 GB free of 199 GB
F drive: 101 GB free of 181 GB
G drive(System Reserved): 85.9 MB free of 349 MB
I want to dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu 18.04. My computer runs on BIOS and not in UEFI mode. I am not getting the option to "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10" in the installer. I saw some Youtube videos and saw that they are shrinking the C drive partition. I tried to do this but it shows "Size of the available shrink space is 4440 MB". I defragmented C drive and now it is showing around 700 MB as the size of the available shrink space. I have also tried Sdelete but to no avail. I want to install Ubuntu in F drive, I can move the important files to some other drives for that matter. How to install Ubuntu in the F drive?
Ubuntu installer shows me this
I am also not getting the option to mount point as '/windows' as shown in this link in the "If you have disk that contains Windows installed" heading.
How to use manual partitioning during installation?
Instead, it shows: This
Please help me with this.

Hmmm. All I can suggest is to reboot with the installation media, ie: USB or DVD.
Select, 'Try Ubuntu Without Installing'. Connect to the internet first, then open the file manager. You should see your Windows partion there. Mount it.
I believe that G-parted is preinstalled. If not, open gnome-terminal and type:
sudo apt-get install gparted
Then, open G-parted and delete the partion labeled dev/sda4......
Now you see 'free space' or unallocated in it's place.
Now close gparted and click on the 'Install Ubuntu' icon on the desktop and you should reach the install option menu and choose the option 'install along side Windows 10'...
IF, IF you get a warning to the effect of ... "system expected UEFI partion, but not found" .... click on 'go back' and then repeat the next step and that will install in legacy BIOS instead. It is a little confusing and vague, but that should work.
That's all I can offer, I hope this helps.
BTW - I don't believe you can install Ubuntu on an 'F-Drive', it has to be on an ext4 (or in some cases it will render 'xfs')
