I found that the best way and easier for me was to install Ubuntu/Linux on Oracle VirtualBox.

Here is a little brief about installing Linux on a VirtualBox and at the end I put a link to the video I followed in order to install Linux on my PC.

Introduction
VirtualBox allows you to run an entire operating system inside another operating system. Please be aware that you should have a minimum of 512 MB of RAM. 1 GB of RAM or more is recommended.

Advantages of virtual installation

• The size of the installation doesn’t have to be predetermined. It can be a dynamically resized virtual hard drive.
• You do not need to reboot in order to switch between Ubuntu and Windows.
• The virtual machine will use your Windows internet connection, so you don’t have to worry about Ubuntu not detecting your wireless card, if you have one.
• The virtual machine will set up its own video configuration, so you don’t have to worry about installing proprietary graphics drivers to get a reasonable screen resolution.
• You always have Windows to fall back on in case there are any problems. All you have to do is press the right Control key instead of rebooting your entire computer.
• For troubleshooting purposes, you can easily take screenshots of any part of Ubuntu (including the boot menu or the login screen).
• It’s low commitment. If you later decide you don’t like Ubuntu, all you have to do is delete the virtual hard drive and uninstall VirtualBox.

Disadvantages of virtual installation

• In order to get any kind of decent performance, you need at least 512 MB of RAM, because you are running an entire operating system (Ubuntu) inside another entire operating system (Windows). The more memory, the better. I would recommend at least 1 GB of RAM.
• Even though the low commitment factor can seem like an advantage at first, if you later decide you want to switch to Ubuntu and ditch Windows completely, you cannot simply delete your Windows partition. You would have to find some way to migrate out your settings from the virtual machine and then install Ubuntu over Windows outside the virtual machine.
• Every time you want to use Ubuntu, you have to wait for two boot times (the time it takes to boot Windows, and then the time it takes to boot Ubuntu within Windows).
