Hi Chris / Steve.

Thanks you for your quick response.


Chris - I had left the install window open and ran 'apport-collect 1911578' 
within a terminal as requested and authorized it.  The window appeared 
indicating that it was collecting data and then the python job crashed:

dpkg-query: no packages found matching linux
Traceback
...
AttributeError: ConfigParser instance has no attribute 'read_string'

I am not sure if any meaningful information was gathered and uploaded.


Steve - NVME appears to be a storage device connected directly to the PCI bus 
(https://www.howtogeek.com/404627/what-are-nvme-drives-and-should-you-buy-one/).
 This desktop has a standard 1TB drive that is SATA-connected.


If it is likely that Ubuntu 16.04 is too old to recognize my new hardware then 
I can give Ubuntu 18.xx LTS a try.  I have 8 other systems running Ubuntu 16.04 
and have not had any reason to upgrade to date.


Thanks!

Title:
  Cannot install Ubuntu 16.04 Alongside Pre-Installed Windows 10

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Hello.

  I am trying to install Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS from USB (which has been
  used successfully in the past) alongside pre-installed Windows 10 on a
  new Acer Aspire TC-895-EB11 desktop.

  I expected that the install process would recognize the free partition
  created on the GPT disk, but it does not.

  I reviewed and followed the steps in this guide
  (https://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/how-do-i-install-ubuntu-
  alongside-a-pre-installed-windows-with-uefi) - no change.  I disabled
  Secure Boot in the BIOS - no change. The drive & partitions do not
  appear to be recognized by Ubuntu.

  As recommended in the guide, I am submitting this bug report.  Any
  assistance would be much appreciated! I only purchased this desktop to
  run Ubuntu, but would prefer to keep the Windows 10 partition usable
  in case I ever want to use it.

  Thanks!
