戴尔Inspiron 7577 SSD存Windows+HDD装Ubuntu双系统安装求助

Hey there! Looks like you’ve already checked off the first big step by partitioning your 1TB HDD—great work. Let’s walk through the rest of the process to get Ubuntu 16.04 up and running alongside your Windows 10 smoothly.

Next Steps to Install Ubuntu 16.04 #

1. Create a Bootable Ubuntu USB Drive #

• Grab the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS ISO file (make sure it’s the 64-bit version, since your Inspiron 7577 is a modern x64 system).
• Use a tool like Rufus to write the ISO to a USB drive (needs at least 4GB of space—back up any data on the USB first!). When configuring Rufus, set the partition scheme to GPT (since your Windows 10 is almost certainly using UEFI mode).

2. Tweak Windows Settings for Dual Boot #

• Turn off Fast Startup: Press Win + X → select Power Options → click Choose what the power buttons do → hit Change settings that are currently unavailable → uncheck "Turn on fast startup (recommended)". This ensures Windows doesn’t lock the drives, which can cause issues with Ubuntu.
• Disable Secure Boot: Restart your laptop and press F2 to enter the Dell BIOS. Navigate to the Security tab, find the Secure Boot option, and set it to Disabled. Save changes and exit (usually F10). This lets Ubuntu boot properly.

3. Boot from the Ubuntu USB #

• Restart again, press F12 to bring up the boot menu, and select your USB drive (it’ll likely be labeled with the USB brand or "USB Storage").
• Choose Try Ubuntu without installing first—this lets you test if all your hardware (WiFi, graphics, sound) works correctly before committing to installation.

4. Install Ubuntu to the Unallocated Partition #

• Double-click the Install Ubuntu icon on the desktop. Follow the prompts to select your language, keyboard layout, and connect to WiFi (check the boxes to download updates and install third-party software for graphics/Wi-Fi hardware—this is crucial for your laptop’s components).
• When you reach the Installation type screen, select Something else—this is the custom partitioning mode you need for your setup.
• In the partition manager, locate the unallocated space on your 1TB HDD (it’ll show up as "Free Space" with the ~500GB size you created). Create these three partitions:
  • Root Partition: Click the + button, set size to 40-60GB, select Primary partition, location Beginning of this space, file system ext4, and mount point /. This is where Ubuntu’s system files live.
  • Swap Partition: If you have 8GB of RAM, set this to 8GB; if you have 16GB+, 4GB is enough (or skip it if you don’t plan to use hibernation). Select Primary partition, file system swap area.
  • Home Partition: Use the remaining free space, select Primary partition, file system ext4, mount point /home. This stores all your personal files, making future system reinstalls easier.
• Critical Note: For the "Device for boot loader installation", select your NVMe SSD (the 256GB drive where Windows is installed—look for /dev/nvme0n1, not a specific partition). This ensures the GRUB boot menu (which lets you choose between Windows and Ubuntu) is installed correctly.
• Click Install Now, confirm the partition changes, then set your timezone and create a user account. Wait for the installation to finish.

5. Post-Install Setup #

• Once installed, restart your laptop—you’ll see the GRUB menu, where you can select either Ubuntu or Windows Boot Manager to launch the respective system.
• After booting into Ubuntu, open the terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T) and run these commands to update your system to the latest patches:

  sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
  

• To get the best performance from your graphics card, open Software & Updates → go to the Additional Drivers tab, select the recommended NVIDIA driver, and apply the changes.
