Download the latest ISO from here.
Download and run this program.
Select the appropriate options, and burn the ISO to a USB stick
Open Disk Management, and shrink your main partition by how much you want to leave for Ubuntu. Leave it as unallocated.
Reboot, and boot from the USB stick instead of the hard disk.
Wait for it to boot, and follow the prompts to install. If you select "install alongside Windows", it should automatically install the the unallocated space you created earlier.

Do not use UUI. Use Rufus. – TheWanderer Oct 22 '16 at 20:33
@Zacharee1 Why? Everybody always has problems with Rufus, but UUI almost always works. – You'reAGitForNotUsingGit Oct 23 '16 at 00:45
I've always seen the exact opposite of that. Every time someone has a problem with UUI/Unetbootin/LILO/etc, Rufus always fixes it. – TheWanderer Oct 23 '16 at 03:03
