During the Ubuntu install, it will give you the option of what to do with whatever partitions are on that drive.
You can delete all of them and use the whole drive for Linux, you can section off part of it for Linux...however you want to do it.

Be 100% sure that you've saved off any personal docs from that drive before you go down this road.

Section 6 speaks to what you're wanting to do.

Is your system sleeping or hibernating, instead of OFF?

 

[danielsvenha4]

It's not hibernating... Both start and/or restart automaticly goas to windows loading statement.

Don't just press F12 once, press it repeadtedly and rapidly. On my computer it is F8 which brings me to my boot choices and delete which brings me to my BIOS.

I've already tried this... But that's not working... When pc turns on it skips the MSI brand BIOS statement and goes to windows load statement

Turn fastboot OFF.

Use MSCONFIG to adjust the boot time.

 

[danielsvenha4]

Thx for response but none of those solutions worked The fastboot is OFF and and I've tried even to tweak boot time in msconfig.

Just for clarity, you should be using the Delete key to get into the BIOS, not F12. I don't use Windows 10, I stumbled across an article about getting to the BIOS with Windows 10:

Thanks for help community but I finally resolved the problem The solution was to reset the BIOS by removing the baterry from motherboard and drain power from capacitors Again, thx for help #You'reTheBestCommunity
