I am planning on installing Ubuntu on my computer that already has windows on it. I have a x64 based processor and windows is also in 64 bit operating system.

By using the uname -mcommand in the Ubuntu OS I get that it is x86_64 which I am guessing means that the Ubuntu I want to install also is a 64 bit operating system.

I have created an additional 20GB partition so all that is done too.

Is there anything else I should check before I install it or should it be fine to go ahead?

I am sure you are good to go. Just for reference you can see this link that lists the requirements for installing Ubuntu.

To install Ubuntu alongside Windows have a look at the official docs (and if you have Windows 8, look at this tutorial also). There are plenty of resources out there on this topic.

So, enjoy Ubuntu!
