You bought the installer disc? I hope you did not pay too much for it... Ubuntu is free open source software. You can download it legally for nothing (or a donation). – Byte Commander Dec 16 '15 at 11:50

Yes, I bought the installer disc because our ISP's network speed is slow and not reliable. Thanks bro. – Sithu Dec 17 '15 at 01:25

You can install the Ubuntu Unity desktop environment alongside GNOME desktop environment.
Open a terminal and execute :
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
Log out - on login screen select Unity - log back in.
To change back to GNOME desktop environment :
Log out - on login screen select GNOME and log in.
Personal note :
After installation of Unity has finished, I recommend to perform a reboot of the Ubuntu system.
