From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Nah, you’re gonna boot from usb and go through till you get the option to install alongside and pick that.
It’ll only show you that option if you have some unallocated space on your disk from resizing the c drive though.
Okay so Just leave some unallocated space of tge size needed tge option to install alongsode windows will be tgere select that and itll install to the unallocated memory, without touching windows?
Yep. As long as you pick install alongside it won’t screw up windows. If you don’t see that option in the “disk selection” part of the process then bail out.
okay, installed with all the right options & it works. Thanks for your help
Hell yeah!
Take some time to get familiar with using chroot or boot-repair to fix the bootloader when a windows update inevitably breaks it.
