Start here. The easiest way to fix this is with a Windows 10 installation disk. If not try some of the suggestions above. You are having an EFI problem that is not really the fault of EFI. On some EFI Windows installations UEFI will not release the media channel because of BIOS bugs are the fault of the OEM. In other words even though you enable Legacy in the BIOS the Windows 10 UEFI won't recognize the change. You must make the change to Legacy boot from the Windows 10 blue advanced options screen. If you have a Windows 10 Pro installation disk this is easy to do if not you must use one of the other methods to get to the blue screen and UEFI change settings. It should be available if your Windows 10 build is above 1700. Get this part figured out if you can first. It's easy after this if you can get through it but you will have to use the 'other' option in the LL installer when you get that far. Defrag Windows before you do anything. Shrink your Windows partition from Windows and leave the resulting empty space unformatted and unallocated. Do not use gparted to do this. Use Windows disk tools. The rest is cake.
