I have a '15 Macbook 12 with OSX Sierra & Bootcamp'd Windows 10.

I want to add Ubuntu 17 as a third boot option.

I did some Google searching and it seems the only way to do it is by removing Windows completely first. Then starting over with a slightly technical process that sort of tricks the ol' macbook software into compliance.

Is there a way to do it with Windows already installed via Bootcamp? AKA nor having to reinstall Windows again. (I hate windows installation)

Figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks!

No that won't work, it will render your windows partition unbootable.

you need to create the partitions through disk utility and then install both windows and your linux of choice through EFI,.
