I want to install Linux alongside Windows and my Device is UEFI and I have GPT disk , I want to install it manually to create swap and home partition and I already have EFI partition by Windows so should I mount it to /boot/efi or install Linux without editing it? and if I should edit it , after that if I decided to uninstall Linux? Should I cancel the mount of the EFI partition or Leave it as it was?

Because some people mount it and some people install it without doing this step.

Another thing what should I choose in device for bootloader installation?

there is many tutorials are exist in internet, but ill teach you one:

1.First Resize Your Windows Partition and leave (at least 20GB) Unmodified Disk Space.

  1. Insert Ubuntu ISO Image, flash driver or etc.. to Boot into Ubuntu Installation

  2. Follow Installation Instructions (everywhere in internet) But In Installation Location You Should Select The Unmodified Space and create a partition then format it to ext4, after choose that partition you created then start installing it.

  3. after ubuntu installation was complete you should run this command in terminal (it makes the windows selection available in next boot):

Try One of those:

$ update-grub

$ update-grub2
