I'm currently using the latest version on Ubuntu. It's great but I would like to use windows 10 as there are many more games and aplications running on that operating system. Is there any way i can dual boot or get windows without loosing all of my data.

I'm new to computer stuff as i have only just built mine. Thanks in advance.

The easiest thing to do is to install Ubuntu after installing Windows as Windows is notorious for not liking dual boots, whereas Ubuntu likes dual boots.

If you can't do it in that order (E.G. by backing up all your data):

  1. Back-up all your data anyway just in case anything goes wrong.
  2. Download and burn a Boot Repair DVD.
  3. Shrink your Ubuntu Install to have enough space for Windows
  4. Move the Ubuntu install off the first partition (Windows insists on being installed on partition 1)
  5. Install Windows
  6. Turn off Windows FastBoot and Hibernation
  7. Run the Boot repair as Windows will have overwritten your boot record during its install process
