Well I ended up getting my nephew to set this up and just got it back, it's now a "
WOW" machine, He did a great job on it, When it starts it pops up with a menu of 4 items, Windows 10 Pro, Ubuntu Linux, bios setup and Ubuntu setup. If I don't select anything the computer witll start by default Win 10.
He also setup quite a few programs, set windows and linux up with stuff like firefox,(with AdBan,Adblock Plus,Ghostery) winamp, vlc player, Paragon backup (essential) etc.
The biggest thing was Virtual Desktop wich contains Win 10, Linux, and XP Pro!!! He has given me a tour and a text file with passwords etc.
I have ordered a 1Tb usb drive for backups
He also added this:

NOTES
Mounting error in Ubuntu "Unable to mount the Primary & Secondary drives due to hibernation"
You will get this error if Windows 10 gets the chance to hibernate the drives, this will happen if you reboot from Windows 10 into Ubuntu,
the workaround is to simply shutdown the computer from Windows 10 before starting up Ubuntu to mount the drives correctly,
unfortunately this means you cannot use any form of fastboot in Windows 10, doing so will create a file called hiberfil.sys on each drive where the paused states of the drives are kept

I haven't had a chance to play with it yet but looks good and know who to call if there are any problems.
My nephew read through the forum threads here to get some ideas/help.
Thanks All for your input and guidance,
I really appreciate it.
Reece.
