THE BEST WAY TO TRY LINUX ON YOUR WINDOWS PC is WUBI

Try Ubuntu using Wubi

If you are trying to install Linux on your PC for first time then I suggest you to use Wubi installer. Wubi is a Windows application to install Ubuntu.

Advantages of Wubi installer

1. Works directly from windows just as any other windows application

2.No partitioning required.(Yes ! the installer will take care of it :) )

3.Dual boot of windows and Linux will be activated by Wubi.This means you can choose either windows or Linux while starting your PC.

4.If you don't like it you can simply uninstall it from your windows control panel.

Also as I have mentioned earlier Ubuntu and Mint are two user friendly Linux distributions. So you can try Wubi to install Linux on you PC

Download Wubi from Ubuntu site or click here . Choose your operating system and click download.

Now run the application to see the following screen.

Here I have chosen C: drive  but it is better to choose drive (if you have a minimum 18 Gb space on it). Choose a password to start installing Ubuntu.

Now Ubuntu files will be downloaded as shown below.Once the file is downloaded the installer will expand the compressed files and complete installation.
