Thanks for that. I read the guidelines and here's the code that I got after entering Trinidad's command; he said to change some things in there but I didn't know where to do that:

Code:
  GNU nano 4.8                   /etc/default/grub                              

# If you change this file, run 'update-grub' afterwards to update

# /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

# For full documentation of the options in this file, see:

#   info -f grub -n 'Simple configuration'

GRUB_DEFAULT=saved

#GRUB_DEFAULT=0

GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true

#GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT=0

GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT_QUIET=true

GRUB_TIMEOUT=10

#GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR='Linux Lite'

GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR=`lsb_release -i -s 2> /dev/null || echo Debian`

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""

# Linux Lite Grub background

GRUB_BACKGROUND="/boot/grub_linux_lite.png"

# Uncomment to enable BadRAM filtering, modify to suit your needs

If you could help me with where to make the change I'd appreciate it.

As for my computer, it's an Acer Aspire V5, 2013 I think. The bios doesn't load on startup - I think the only way to change that is to tinker with the hardware, which I'm not up for.

Thanks again,

Adrian

I realize that this topic seems to have been abandoned by the OP, but, if not, I will offer what I can. Your access to BIOS and/or Boot order should come up and display fairly quickly on booting. If it doesn't, you may need to read the owner's manual or do a search for the key to bring it up. Try Shift or F2 or F12 for starters.

As far as I know, both Windoze and LL need to be installed with the same (Legacy, EFI, or UEFI) setting.

When in Terminal, as you type in your password, NOTHING shows, but the entry is accepted if correct. Just type your password and press Enter.

I had no problem dual booting a few years ago, but I now only use Windoze for income tax preparation. I bought a used Win 10 computer that sits on my Family Room floor unconnected to anything until tax time.

You may need to use Terminal to update grub to make it operational. When I did dual booting, a fairly small box came up in the top left giving both OSs, with Ubuntu first and highlighted. Press Enter or let it boot in seconds to LL.
