1. Start Disk Management (called “Create and format hard disk partitions, Control panel” on the start menu)
2. Right-click on the Windows NTFS partition and select Shrink Volume.
   1. The maximum shrink is the default, though the volume will still be a lot larger than the space used by Windows. In this case, the Windows partition was 237 GB before and 121 GB after, even though Windows reports C: was using only 31 GB.
3. Boot into BIOS setup. On Config tab, select Keyboard/Mouse and change “F1-F12 as Primary Function” to Enabled
4. Boot from Ubuntu 16.04 USB
5. Start gparted.
   1. You can ignore a warning that “the driver descriptor says the physical block size is 2048 bytes but Linux says it is 512 bytes.”
6. Create a primary partition with the rest of the space, file system “lvm2 pv” named and labeled “lvm”
7. Apply settings.
   1. Note the lvm partition, e.g. /dev/sda5.
8. Open a terminal and set up the volume groups
   sudo pvcreate /dev/sda5
   sudo vgcreate volgroup1 /dev/sda5
   sudo lvcreate -n swap -L 16g volgroup1
   The size of the last command is equal to RAM
   sudo lvcreate -n ubuntu16.04 -l 33%FREE volgroup1
   The “-l” in the last command is a lower case L.
9. Check logical volumes with “sudo lvscan”:
   ACTIVE '/dev/volgroup1/swap' [16.00 GiB] inherit
   ACTIVE '/dev/volgroup1/ubuntu16.04' [31.83 GiB] inherit
10. Close the command prompt.
