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.

What is the best Linux desktop based operating system to install on AMD athalon laptop?
As it is free to download and install any Linux based operating system, it is possible to try a variety - Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Puppy, and so on - before making a final choice. If Windows is already the laptop's operating system, use the Linux CDs as a 'Live CD', which allows you to try the new OS without making changes to the hard-drive (work is done in RAM only).
