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?

@Davidenko, I know about Ubuntu having capability for dual booting, but wanted to have a standalone dual boot software. – Amani Sep 23 '15 at 12:48

3Install Ubuntu and it will install GRUB and you will have an option there to go either to Ubuntu or Windows 7. You should have researched before you've asked.... Or you can unplug disk with Windows 7, then install Ubuntu on another. Later in Bios you can choose what disk you want to boot from, there are lot of options, you pick one... – Davidenko Sep 23 '15 at 13:02
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.
