Boot Loader problems with Ubuntu 15.10 disk


I've been trying to create a dual boot with Windows 10 and an Ubuntu 15.10 disk.
The boot order is correct but inserting the disk yields a boot-screen which recognizes the Ubuntu-presence and includes it as one of the possibilities. However, selecting Ubuntu to be installed yield Nothing-no action...? Any suggestions?
ps. I wouldn't bother at all with windows but this is Tax season & my software to prepare the return uses only Windows. Does anyone know of a Linux run USA Income Tax return program?

Do you have UEFI enabled? It can block the booting of non Windows repeating systems.

Also, you might be better off mentioning the tax software question in the Linux Software forum.
