If you are planning to dual boot, check out this:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBoot
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GraphicalInstall#head-49944d8626113375eea234aa41d06d657ae5d6bf
Itś also a good idea to back up your data and perhaps, your entire OS.
I lost a couple of installations by not doing that.
