I've tried to install Linux Mint 18.3 in dual boot alongside Windows 10 on my Acer laptop. I disabled Fast Boot under Windows 10 and resized the partition Windows is on using GParted so I had 40 GB of free space. Then I booted the installation ISO from a USB drive and chose "Install Linux Mint alongside Windows". It automatically recognised the free space, formatted it as one ext4 partition and one swap partition and started installing. During the step "Installing the grub2 package", it keeps freezing. These are the last log messages it printed:
