___Ubuntu Installation___

1. Download this ISO file: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop (edited)

2. Create a bootable USB stick by following the instructions here (including the PenDrive thing): http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows

3. Follow the instructions under "Booting the Computer from USB", it's about 3/4ths of the way down the page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick (edited)

4. Follow the instructions here, the installation process: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-ubuntu-desktop

Read all these materials in full before actually going through with it, so that you understand it first. See if you can procure another computer so you can have these links on display while you ubuntu-fy your windows computer

If you follow these correctly you should have no issue. There are youtube videos that walk you through the process if you really need it after all these tutorials.
