# Depending on your version of Windows, you may need to run the '''wubi.exe''' program, and provide your admin password.<br /><br />
# A '''Ubuntu Menu''' dialog box should appear (refer to top diagram on right-side). This dialog box provides various methods of installing Ubuntu Linux. To install inside MS Windows, select "'''Install Inside Windows'''".<br /><br /><li>When you have made your selection, another dialog box should appear called "<strong>'''Ubuntu Installer'''</strong>".<br /><br /></li># In the that dialog box, '''check to see if there is enough hard drive space in your windows partition'''. If not, perhaps you can select another partition that has enough space, or exit the dialog box, free up space and repeat the installation process.<br /><br />
# Select the '''Installation Size'''. Normally, the maximum size (30 GB) is more than enough space to run Ubuntu Linux and download additional programs. If you require more space for Linux, then you should consider installing from one of the alterative methods .<br /><br />
# '''Select your Desktop environment'''. The desktop Environment is the graphical interface that allows the user to perform their daily computing tasks. You can install and use many different desktop environments (such as '''KDE''', or '''Gnome (highly recommended)'''). KDE has a more "MS Windows-like" appearance, Gnome is the default desktop environment without the "clutter".<br /><br />At this dialog box item, you are selecting your default desktop environment: Gnome or KDE. You can install and use other desktop environments at at later date...<br /><br />
