Angry Failed to install Grub during Ubuntu installation in a Windows 10 pre installed ASUS x55c laptop

Want to install dual boot with Windows 10.
RAM 6 GB
I used a live USB device with Ubuntu 18 LTS latest release
I have one 500GB HD. I partitioned it into-
200 GB for Windows 10 as ntfs
200 GB for any DATA as ntfs
6GB as swap
94 GB for Ubuntu as ext4 marked as "/" during partitioning with ubuntu installer
ext4 partition set as boot loader device

During installation it says that grub installation failed

Probably you neglected to read the official Ubuntu documentation at their site below.
