Install Windows Dual Boot in Ubuntu Desktop amd64 in Noble Beta (archived)

Proceed in your native language if you wish. Instructions will remain in English.

Please report whether the system is using BIOS or UEFI, whether Secure Boot is enabled (where applicable), and whether Windows is using BitLocker.
