This is what it says in the web:

mini system in UEFI mode

While the minimal iso image is handy, it isn't useful for installing on UEFI-based systems that you want to run in UEFI mode. The mini iso lacks the proper files for booting the computer in UEFI mode. Thus, the computer will boot in BIOS compatibility mode, and the installation will be in BIOS mode.

You can use an Ubuntu Server amd64 iso file (64-bit) for 'mini installations' in UEFI mode. There is a compressed image file dd_text_16.04-UEFI-n-BIOS-4-pendrive-7.8GB.img.xz of such an installed system, that can be used as a start of a custom installation.

You could do this with Ubuntu Server, and install the xubuntu-core or lubuntu-core meta package. However, there might be a lot of other packages you would need to install to satisfy all dependencies and make everything work.

Or, by doing a web search, I found this tutorial which shows how to make the MinimalCD boot in UEFI.

However, I am genuinely curious as to why you want to dual boot Windows 10 and such a specialized install as the one described in this thread. What are you trying to accomplish? Care to share?
