I have a desktop PC with a single hard drive with Windows 10 installed. I want to add another hard drive and install Ubuntu 15.04 in it then dual boot it with Windows 10.
What free software should I use for this purpose?

As @Davidenko said, Ubuntu does come with its own; however, if you want to use standalone software then you should check out EasyBCD which runs on Windows and is free for personal use.
