Installing Ubuntu inside Windows 8Once ubuntu is installed, can I still update other operating systems?Can I use Ubuntu installers partition tool (Win 8.1 and Ubuntu 13.04)GRUB does not list an option for windows 8Win 8.1 + Ubuntu 14.04GNU GRUB, Minimal BASH-like line editing screen displays before the usual GRUB screen when dual-booting Ubuntu 14 and Windows 8.1Dual boot giving boot priority to Ubuntu 14.04 (UEFI based)Grub menu does now show while bootingCannot boot into Ubuntu 16.04 from Boot Loader MenuCan i install ubuntu on a separate ssd and boot without a prompt
I've only been using Ubuntu(18.04) for about a week on a HP Notebook 2000 and I really like the U.I. and architecture and wish to permanently install Ubuntu alongside Windows 7 or 8.1.
I currently have a machine running dual boot Windows 8.1 and Windows 10-I have achieved this by configuring msconfig.exe on both OS. How this works is I simply prompt to restart instead of shutdown and upon reboot, the machine will ask me which OS I would like to load into.
I would like to know if there is a way to achieve a similar function on Ubuntu-I prefer to stay away from GRUB if I can, but I can work with it if need be.

GRUB is Ubuntu's default boot loader, which can also detect and chain-load the Windows boot loaders. It doesn't work the other way round though, a Windows boot manager does not care about other operating systems. You will have to use GRUB (or an equivalent alternative) which will serve as your initial boot loader and OS selection menu.
