First of all, I'll say I'm actually very clueless regarding "computer stuff", that's why I'm asking this question from scratch, since related questions/answers I've seen here and on other sites I couldn't really understand (read 'understand' as trying for ~4 hours and arriving at no results) and/or they didn't work for me. I won't talk about what I already tried because I'm willing to try those options again since this was several months ago. Eventually I gave up on this and continued to use Windows.

I'm interested in setting up dual boot for Windows10 64bits (my current OS) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop. I've bought a USB Stick with 16GB of storage space and followed this tutorial: https://ubuntu.com/tutorials/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows#1-overview

When I restart my computer and boot it from the USB Stick, I get the following error message:

SYSLINUX 6.03 EDD 2014-10-06 Copyright (C) 1994-2014 H. Peter Anvin et al

Failed to load ldlinux.c32

Boot failed: please change disks and press a key to continue.

Ubuntu Install Quick Start

The guide that you used is not the best guide. Following the screen shots, such as using Free Dos, can create problems. The following step by step guide is as simple as it gets:

![enter image description here

  • Select USB Device and Ubuntu ISO file for Boot Selection.

  • Stretch the Persistent partition size slider about half way.

  • Confirm your Rufus looks exactly like the screen shot except for the Device name and position of the Persistence slider.

  • Select START.

  • When Rufus is done you can use USB to install Ubuntu to BIOS or UEFI machine.
