On my other computer, that had Vista as the primary OS, I installed Linux Lite and got the GRUB boot loader for dual booting, but my new computer has Windows 10 and I'm having difficulty installing the Linux Lite. I've had to turn off secure boot, turn on legacy boot, and now I'm getting a pop up box when I try to install Linux Lite that reads as follows: 'The partition format used on your disk normally requires you to create a separate partition for boot loader code...'
I'm under the impression based on what I've read that I have done something wrong and need to install Linux Lite the same way Windows 10 was installed using the UEFI , but I couldn't get the USB stick with Linux Lite installed to load with the default settings.
My first question is how can I resolve the message up above regarding the boot loader code, and my second question is will I get GRUB bootloader on startup if I install Linux Lite with legacy boot mode, or do I have to jump through hoops to choose between the different OS I have installed ?
Thanks for any assistance.
