I have Windows 10 Pro installed on my 120GB SSD and now there is not enough space even to install win 10 update because some application automatically selects C:\ drive to installation localtion. So I decided to download Ubuntu and put it on a USB drive and "try" it so I don't need to install it. And with Ubuntu I can move all program files to a different drive and I can make a symlink to the files.
The problem is that when I try to boot Ubuntu I get a single line saying: [Firmware Bug]: TSC_DEADLINE disabled due to Errata; please update microcode to version: 0x52 (or later)
I found this question, but if I can't boot up Ubuntu I can't use the sudo apt-get install intel-microcode command.
So how can I boot this up?

In such case try to upgrade the BIOS of your motherboard - as it should contain newer microcode.

Go to Advanced Options and select a previous kernel (keep trying until one works if you find that some don't work). Once inside you'll have the option to bring up a root command prompt which is where you can type in sudo apt-get install intel-microcode. In my case I ran out of space during a kernel update which caused it to fail, you can fix it by running sudo apt-get update.

Just went through the same issue, almost threw motherboard to trash - but finally checked all connections inside PC and OS drive had disconnected power cable. Plugged in and all works fine.
