UPDATE: After more checking I found there were Ubuntu entries in the EFI
file that I had manually created when trying some of the fixes I found
on Google. I deleted them and started the Lubuntu install again. Again
it did not find the Windows partition but installed into SDA5. This time
the install process completed but it did not build the UEFI entries for
a double boot of Windows 10 and Lubuntu 16.10. Still looking for a
resolution to be able to boot the Lubuntu image.

Title:
  Lubuntu install crashes

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Installing Lubuntu on Probook 4525s running Windows 10 and UEFI.

  Had problems doing the install since Windows 10 was not detected.
  Googled many alternative installs but none seemed to work. Finally
  found a fix saying to disable Windows 10 fast start. Started install
  again from USB holding ISO from Lubuntu.org. This time install says it
  detected the Windows Boot Loader (unsure of exact name) and an
  existing Ubuntu 16.10. To remove anything I might have already done to
  the Ubuntu files I chose the option to erase 16.10 and reinstall. It
  cautioned me that this would overwrite partition 5 (linux) and
  partition 6 (swap). This was correct so I gave the go ahead to
  install. Much copying and installing followed. I think the last
  install update said something about GRUB. Then the installer crashed
  and started this report.
