How do you install Linux in windows 8?
Have a look at WUBI (search Google) to install Ubuntu as a file,
without making any changes to your Windows 8 hard-drive. To remove
WUBI, simply use Windows utility to uninstall programs.
Or, create a separate partition on the Windows hard-drive and
install Linux (or which ever distro you wish to use) on to the new
partition. Remember to first backup important files onto an
external storage device.
Or, download and burn a Linux distribution with an ISO extension
onto a CD and use as a Live Disk. If you then intend to install
Linux, you will be given the choice to either install as a
dual-boot with Windows by installing Linux alongside Windows, or
wiping Windows and letting Linux use all the hard-drive.
