I have Ubuntu 16.04 installed without important data. I want to have Ubuntu 16.04 dual boot Windows 10. I read that doing this dual boot is better from windows. I want to install Windows 10 with erasing Ubuntu and then install Ubuntu 16.04 with "install Ubuntu alongside Windows 10" option. My question is: is it correctly making dual boot this way?

There is no "incorrect" way to dual boot considering there is only one method to achieve it. You do understand Ubuntu 16.04 is not supported, is extremely out of date, you should be using Ubuntu 18.04– RamhoundAug 22, 2018 at 11:56

@Ramhound I tried 18.04 but this version is not good for me– Vlad HavriukAug 22, 2018 at 11:59

You have not really explained where in the process you are stuck. It's extremely hard to install Windows and Ubuntu on the same HDD incorrectly. If you install both of them correctly.– RamhoundAug 22, 2018 at 12:04

@Ramhound Ubuntu 16.04 is a LTS and supported until 2021.– user931000Aug 24, 2018 at 20:47

1@VladGavriuk First of all understand UEFI mode and its requirements, assuming you already understand partitioning (if not, start there). Then read this askubuntu.com/questions/221835/… and update your question with reference to this guide in case you're stuck at some point.– user931000Aug 24, 2018 at 20:49

Yes, you can. I successfully installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS dual boot Windows 8.1. You need to install Windows first and then install Ubuntu or other Linux distribution with "install Ubuntu alongside Windows" option.
Yes, you can, but do not forget to enable legacy boot and disable fast boot in your BIOS otherwise windows will kick in before Linux.
