Unlike Microsoft’s Windows or Apple’s Mac OS X, Ubuntu (13.10) and the vast majority of Linux distributions are free to download and use. For most users, that computer will likely be running either Windows 7 or 8, so I’ve used a test computer that’s running Windows 8 Pro for this tutorial.
So, without further ado, here’s a step-by-step guide for installing Ubuntu 13.10 on your computer. I don’t like Windows, but I don’t want anybody to lose data while installing any Linux distribution. Unfortunately for that guy, he lost his C drive and, with it, all his files. But what actually ended up happening was all my partitions merged into one deleting everything. When I chose to remove windows I assumed it would be placed on my C drive and not my other one. One with files I wanted to keep and the other being the windows 7 partition. When I went to install 13.10 I chose the option to remove windows and replace with Ubuntu. I’ve been thinking about writing this for a while, but didn’t think there will be a real need for it until I saw this forum post, which I’ve quoted below: What’s easy for one person might not necessarily be for another.
You would think that because Ubiquity, Ubuntu’s graphical installation is a point-and-click application, that users will not have any problem using it. This is a new user’s guide for installing Ubuntu 13.10 on a computer that has another OS already installed on the hard disk drive (HDD).
