If I don't partition my drive before installing and I choose to install alongside Windows 10, how much space will Ubuntu automatically take?

If I do create a partition, how do I also create a swap partition for it?

Will it automatically create a swap partition?

During the installation process, you get to decide how big the new partition should be, no automatic formatting is done.

There are no swap partitions any more, in recent releases they have been replace by swap files that grow and shrink in size dynamically.

According to their System requirements, you will need 5 GB of disk space minimum.

Ubuntu installer automatically creates a swap partition having size equivalent to your RAM size . For installation size i think the installer gives an option to choose how much amount of hard disk space you want to allocate to Ubuntu installation . Hope it helps you . :)

I installed Ubuntu 18.04 alongside Windows 10, I did not partition the disk and the installer didn't ask me to. After installation I could see it had created a 35GB partition on my 500GB HDD and installed to that.
