I want to install Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS on my laptop with following configuration:

  • Hp Envy x360
  • Hard Disk: 1 TB
  • RAM: 16GB

I have created a separate partion of 300GB for Ubuntu which is NTFS. I have downloaded Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS iso file and will install using bootable pendrive.

I searched on the internet and read that to install Ubuntu you must have a FAT32 partition. I am new to Ubuntu and I am unable to change the separate partition in Windows 10 to FAT32. Will I be able to install Ubuntu on my machine? If yes, what are my options?

After the disk space for installing Ubuntu has been selected, the Ubuntu installer will select the correct partitioning format (ext4) automatically no matter what the original partition format is. FAT32, NTFS or any other format, it doesn't matter to the Ubuntu installer, it will format the Ubuntu partition(s) to ext4 by default.
