I have been given a dead Laptop and am trying to use the 1TB hard disk out of it. It is W10 and I have reset W10 to get rid of all the previous owners stuff, and then I used a windows utility to shrink the Windows space and create some free disk.
When I try to install dual boot Kubuntu At the point where I want to create the linux partitions I can't because W10 has 4 primary partitions and that is all that are allowed. So the extra space is inaccessible. I am not sure what my next steps could be. Can I convert a W10 partition to be an extended partition, or even be devilish and blow away the recovery partition? Appreciate your thoughts.
