1: Download miniTool Partition Wizard
2: Defrag C:\ and D:\ drives
3: Run miniTool wizard
4: Shrink C:\ by 100GB
5: Extend D:\ by adding the new 100gb partition to it
6: Perform quick format for good measure
7: Install Ubuntu

Also, if you just want to explore Ubuntu without messing around with partitions and installs you can simply download Ubuntu live and run it directly off a USB drive.

  • If you want to run Ubuntu without installing it on the computer, then download Ubuntu live and put it on a USB drive. Go into BIOS and set your USB drive as primary boot device and restart computer. Ubuntu will load up without installing and allow you to mess around with it.
