Ubuntu installation problems

[Caipenghui]

I have installed windows and allocated disk space for ubuntu. When I installed Ubuntu, I saw that there are two options, one is coexistence with Windows, and the other is another partition. What is the difference between the first option and other partitions?

Which one should I choose?
I see a lot of people on the web choosing other partition options to divide disk space.

Will the coexistence option with windows be automatically partitioned?

How can you allocate space for Ubuntu from Windows? It's not possible
with MS tools. Please explain this.

I think you are confused. If you want both to coexist, Ubuntu *must*
go into another partition. There is no other way.

If you want to keep Windows, choose coexist.

Partitions are how you divide up disks, yes.

Yes.

I don't know how ubuntu automatically allocates partitions. Will there
be insufficient disk space?

Before you ask additional questions, please reply to Liam's question how
you allocated disc space for Ubuntu. It's quite possible to do this and
it's also possible to use the installer in different ways. I always
chose expert modes from installers, such as 'Something else' shown by
this tutorial,
https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop#5
or what ever else is provided for advanced users to select partitions.
If you already have done something, it's important to know, what you
already have done.
