I have a Win10 machine that I want to use Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on. Using the 20.04 LTS bootable installer running on a USB stick, I was able to install onto a second 256GB USB stick. However, it won't boot, it just boots straight to windows. I have the USB stick selected to boot first in the boot priority in BIOS settings. My boot priority is set as follows:
1 - uefi: usb disk 3.0 pmap, partition 1 (236581mb)
2 - Windows Boot Manager (samsung ssd 960 evo 1tb)
I tried installing onto the USB stick two ways - one with LVM active, and one without , but neither will boot. I've also disabled Fast Boot in the BIOS, but still no joy. Anyone have any ideas?
One other side issue - since installing onto the USB, my boot priority menu has the following as an option - 'ubuntu (samsung ssd 960 evo 1tb)'. I only have one SSD installed on my machine, and it shows up twice in the options for boot order - 'Windows Boot Manager (samsung ssd 960 evo 1tb)' and 'ubuntu (samsung ssd 960 evo 1tb)'. I tested, and Windows still works fine. Anyone know why the ubuntu option is there?
