Wanted: Pro to build dual boot Ubuntu

[Charles Irons]

Hi All

After reading your various advices again, I hope my response makes sense
and any comments are most welcome.

Doug: I agree Win 7 will be better for me if I can find a source here
and will use it to shrink its partition to 20% of the hard drive.

Colin & Pep3ts: I have saved the link to Team Viewer in case Unity still
gives me trouble. The new PC's graphics card should be fine.

NoOp/Gary: This old PC only has 1GB memory/RAM and its Ubuntu + Win XP
was setup in 2005 with a helper and no detail of the process is in my
skull.
Your very good suggestions would mean this old head must learn more new
components and applications.

So my intentions: 
Get a new PC in a desktop case so I don't need to get down low and my
19" monitor can sit on it when we downsize.
The first quote is for a 64 bit I3 motherboard with 3.4 GHz cpu, 4GB
DDR3 memory, 1000 GB SATA 3.5" hard drive and a R/W DVD.
Learn Win 7 before trying more steps.
Make Win 7 shrink its own partition to 200 GB.
Install Ubuntu 14.04.1 that I have downloaded but must check its
integrity (seems smaller 625 MB than expected 981 MB)
Just found how to MD5sum/hash.

That is my state of play right now . If you have stayed with me all this
distance , I thank you sincerely for your stamina.

Kind regards. Chas.I
