Extremely easy with Live CD . Download and burn the ISO that you want on a CD. Put the CD in your PC and restart. Boot from CD . Choose to TRY Ubuntu and Try it with nothing affect your system.
Notes : 1) Burn the ISO at the smaller speed.
2) Trying Ubuntu from Live CD is much slower than when install it.
No. After download and burn the Ubuntu 10.10 install disk, you can either TRY Ubuntu without affecting your Windows at all, or INSTALL Ubuntu to have them both in your PC. However, to install Ubuntu, you need to be careful. Make sure not to install Ubuntu to the Windows drive. That is all.
Do you mean, install Ubuntu and not enter the BIOS? To install Ubuntu using a CD, you need to enter the BIOS, setting the CD drive as the first boot. Otherwise, the computer will still boot off the hard-drive and ignore Ubuntu on the CD drive. If you meant, install Ubuntu without removing your Windows operating system? Then you need to set up a dual-boot between Windows and Ubuntu. Search the internet for fuller instructions on creating a dual-boot. If you simply want to try using Ubuntu without making any changes to the OS already on the hard-drive, either use the CD containing Ubuntu as an ISO file, known as a Live CD. Or, look up WUBI on the internet. Wubi will allow you to download and use Ubuntu as you would any other Windows file - without making any changes to the hard-drive.
If you're looking to install Ubuntu on Windows 11, you have a few very good options. The dual-boot method lets you choose between Windows and Ubuntu each time you start your computer, giving you full access to both systems. If you prefer not to reboot every time, using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows you to run Ubuntu alongside Windows. It’s simple to install and great for using Linux tools without leaving Windows. Finally, running Ubuntu on a virtual machine with VirtualBox or VMware is another option if you want to try Linux without making any changes to your system. This way, you can easily explore Ubuntu while still working within Windows.
You could make a separate partition for Ubuntu, so creating a dual-boot. Or try the easiest method of using WUBI to install Ubuntu as a Windows file. This allows you to use Ubuntu without affecting XP or the hard-drive. Type WUBI in a browser and follow the instructions.
Try using the software called WINE. It can run (some) Windows programs on linux.
What you are seeing in wine is not the windows files from your windows 7 installation, but windows files that the wine "emulation" package. Your windows 7 files are somewhere else. I'm a Fedora user, so not sure about Ubuntu, but try browsing to /media and see if you can see your windows 7 drive there.
Try completely removing MS word and reinstall it.
Windows has a GUI and CLI. You use the GUI pretty much all the time. Dump the windows and get a Linux install, try ubuntu and get used to using the well structured CLI. The GUI will make more sense then in general.
Windows 7 is the safest Windows so far. Try installing AVG (free) or Norton (paid) If you want super-safety for free, you can install Ubuntu from ubuntu.com (it's free). It's a really nice and really safe OS.

it really depends on what distro of Linux you would like. by far the most user friendly i have came across is ubuntu. www.ubuntu.com download the live CD and try it out, doesnt require install to test, but has install option on live disc. as a matter of dual booting to use windows and Linux, you can find information all over Google about that, or the ubuntu forums. i use ubuntu as a main OS, and i have not had windows installed since 2005, no need for it. check out the ubuntu forums for any help as well as their irc channel.
