Installing Ubuntu alongside Windows is easy to do because Ubuntu uses an official installer for Windows called Wubi. What’s great about Wubi? With it you can install and uninstall Ubuntu in the same way as any other Windows application. Wubi was designed specifically to bridge the two operating systems, so it’s simple and safe to use.
If you’ve ever been curious about Ubuntu but are not sure about the whole installation process, or if you’re not sure about the mechanics of partitioning your hard drive, Wubi is a great solution for beginners.
Wubi is a stand-alone application that you can download to install Ubuntu from within your current Windows operating system.Wubi installs Ubuntu as a dual boot on your system, but it doesn’t manipulate any partitions; it just uses free space on your hard drive.
Follow the Steps below :
