Where can I find the how-to guide to install Ubuntu 14.04.02 alongside Windows 8.1? Because I don't know anything about it. I have a brand new system with a Core i5 processor.

  • What have you tried? What installation instructions did you follow and how did it fail at which step? How did you download Ubuntu and from what media are you trying to boot it off (e.g. USB flash drive, CD-ROM, etc.) Please [edit] your question to include all this kind of information. We can't see your screen and we don't have your computer so we rely completely on the information you put in your question, you see? :) – gertvdijk Apr 12 '15 at 16:49

  • Do you want 14.10 or 14.04? There is no 14.14! – Organic Marble Apr 12 '15 at 18:22

If you want to try out Ubuntu before re-partitioning your system, you can follow this procedure here.

If you are ready to make the plunge, the official Windows Dual Boot documentation is here.
