If you are an infrequent user of Windows and do not want to trouble yourself with dual booting Ubuntu and Windows 10, I suggest installing Windows 10 inside Linux by creating a virtual machine.

In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to install Windows 10 inside Ubuntu Linux using Virtual Box.

Note: If you see Windows logo with black background and it never starts to install, you may have to do a little tweak. There seems to be an incompatibility between Virtualbox and Windows 10 1703.
