| If you encounter an error requesting you to disable **Intel RST** while attempting to install Ubuntu, follow this [workaround to install Ubuntu with Intel RST systems](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1233623/workaround-to-install-ubuntu-20-04-with-intel-rst-systems/1233644#1233644), specifically **Choice #2**. The process forces Windows to boot into safemode after you switch your motherboard storage driver to work with Ubuntu. Once it boots into Windows, the forced-on safemode is disabled and you are free to attempt an installation of Ubuntu once again. | ||

Shouldn't we move this section before the dual booting instructions?

Yeah you're right it should go up higher. I put it below as a sort of FAQ type thing, but people will run into it beforehand and not search the rest of the page.

| If you have Windows Pro then you may have [BitLocker](https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/bitlocker-drive-encryption-76b92ac9-1040-48d6-9f5f-d14b3c5fa178) enabled on your main drive. BitLocker is Microsoft's drive encryption software. If the drive you want to install Ubuntu on has BitLocker enabled then you will not be able to at first. |

Minor nit: Bitlocker is also available on some other versions of Windows (like Enterprise)

Very true, I'll be sure to include those versions as well.
