Lenovo Yoga 530-14IKB with Ubuntu 20.04

The Lenovo Yoga 530-14IKB can easily be installed with Ubuntu 18.04.

Mine had a Intel i5 8th generation processor and 4Gb of RAM. It probably will also work with the i3 and i7 processor.

You should first boot into windows and make the installation complete. If windows all works fine, you should click the start button and type "partition". Now the virtual disk manager could be started. In this manager the partitons are visible. You should select the windows partition and that one is about 240 in size. Don0t touch the other partitons, Decrease the size by rightclicking on the partiton and select 'decrease size'. decrease the size by 80,000 Gb. That will be large enough to install Ubuntu in.

When windows is ready (about 5 seconds) you can shutdown the laptop.

Now take a bootable USB live disk of Ubuntu. Preferably the newest 20.04-1 image 64bit!

Put the USB stick in a USB port.

Take a small pin e.g. from a staple. A paperclip is too thick. Press it carefully in the small hole next to the on-off button on the right side of the laptop. You feel a small click. Now turn on the laptop and a BIOS menu will appear. Select the boot menu and select the USB stick to boot from. The Life USB stick will boot and Ubuntu will start. Now you can install Ubuntu. You don't need to do anything with BIOS settings.

I selected the standard option to install ubuntu next to the windows bootmanager and it all worked flawlessly. You don't need to install the UEFI driver to get Ubuntu working. Within half an hour I had Ubuntu up and running in a dual.boot configuration. The best of two worlds.
