I'm trying to install Ubuntu to a partition. Will this allow me to save my changes that i make on the system? I'm really concerned if this would or could mess my laptop up.

Well, is there anything on your laptop that could get messed up? Your hardware is not at risk, but any data is, if you're uncareful during the installation of Ubuntu and have no backup (which you should have anyway). – David Foerster Mar 21 '15 at 02:09

Yes, the changes are persistent if you install to a partition.
Your laptop can be messed if the partition you install Ubuntu in has any information that you want to use after the install.
