I'm new to the Linux environment. I tried installing Ubuntu 12.04 in a Lenovo Y480 with Windows 8.1, but when the installer asked me what do I want to do, the option to keep both the OS does not appear. How can I install Ubuntu on this laptop?

A typical Ubuntu installation alongside Windows will go as follows:
- Insert Ubuntu installation disk (LiveDVD or LiveUSB) in the system and boot from it.
- Choose Install Ubuntu when asked to either try or install it.
- Select language
- When Preparing to Install window appears, it will present you with following options
- Install Ubuntu alongside your other systems (eg alongside Windows). Select this option in your case.
- Erase disk and install Ubuntu (Install Ubuntu over your entire hard drive).
- Something else (use manual options for installations, like partitioning hard drive and then install).
Here is the graphical step-by-step installation guide for dual booting Windows and Ubuntu. A more detailed Wiki is available here.
