I want to download ubuntu for my win10 as a secondary OS for... reasons. Too long story.

I downloaded ubuntu 14.04 from disk I found from library. I had to use disk instead of internet download because poor connection. (it would take few days to download all)

First of all i had to use tools disk offered because computer did not open ubuntu in next restart.

Now each time my whole computer starts, it says something like Windows could not be started and do you want to see OS selection screen.

Beginning in windows selection begins windows normally, as I now write this post in it.

But start with ubuntu makes another ' Windows could not be started' screen. Strange. I can just begin with windows.

How can I launch pc with ubuntu in this case?

I would advise backing up your windows 10 files, creating rescue disk for windows 10 and noting down windows 10 keys(i.e windows 8.1/7 keys in case you just upgraded) Read about UEFI in this article: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI and further read Installing Ubuntu Alongside a Pre-Installed Windows with UEFI

@Jabutosama sounds like what may work for you would be to install Ubuntu as your main OS and then install KVM (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation) that would allow you to run Windows 10 as a virtual machine. I've included a link to the Ubuntu Help page for how to install KVM. Hope that helps, good luck.
