If you have a single disk mounted on your device, you should consider manually partitioning it while installing Ubuntu. Because the disk will be locked and you won't be able to shrink or resize the partition to create free space if you let Ubuntu to do this automatically. You can still shrink but it will require booting ubuntu via an usb drive.

While installing Ubuntu, choose something else and manually create EFI , swap, / and /home partitions. EFI = 1024 MB, swap area = size of your RAM, / = minimum 8 GB and /home = according to your needs. Use the remaining unallocated space to install windows.

This will help...also if rufus is giving problem, it did have problems when I was trying to install it on laptop dell Inspiron 5559 I don't know why it was doing it just gave a black screen, then after a time I tried with another software BalenaEtcher then it worked.

Go to CMD as an administrator and type this command.

bcdedit /set {bootmgr} path \EFI\ubuntu\grubx64.efi

it will enable the bootloader so you can choose which OS you want to use... It worked for me too.
