@ PinStripe,
You can either wipe-out Windows, set mode to Legacy, disable "Secure Boot" and install LL as only system, or you can keep Windows in UEFI mode and install LL in Legacy mode.
LL can not be installed (easily) in UEFI mode, but you can install it in Legacy mode while keeping Win10 installed in UEFI mode. What you'll end up with is a mixed-mode dual boot system. Boot computer in Legacy mode to use LL and change to UEFI mode to boot Windows. (Grub menu will not offer choice to boot Windows in this setup.)
Boot into Windows and use its Disk Management program to reduce size of main partition (probably "C: drive") to make room for LL installation. (Just leave resulting space unformatted -- don't make any partitions from within Windows.) Disable Windows "Fast Startup" (which is on by default). Disable "Secure Boot" in UEFI Settings/Setup menu.
See this tutorial for installing in Legacy mode on GPT partitioned disk (which is what you have if Windows is installed in UEFI mode). Ignore warnings at beginning and skip down to "Make your new partitions" step under "Instructions" heading. Follow steps to make partitions and install system. When done, computer will boot LL when you choose Legacy boot mode in UEFI/(Bios) Settings and Windows when you choose UEFI boot mode.

What?? Where is WPA??
