Step1: we will free up some space from our hard disk
for installing windows 10. we can shrink the partition containing data to free
up space for windows but you cannot resize the partition containing ubuntu
system files while it's in use you'll need a ubuntu live cd or g-parted live cd

Windows 10 has loaded without showing any option to switch between Ubuntu and

the ubuntu operating system on UEFI mode you can select Ubuntu from the boot

manager

appear in the grub menu and we can choose between ubuntu and windows operating
system
