If you interested, there are some really good places to start.
https://itsfoss.com/install-ubuntu-1404-dual-boot-mode-windows-8-81-uefi/ ( assuming your on windows here is a good guide if you want to check it out)





Side note: There are many awesome distros other than ubuntu out there, and it's free and easy to play with them, but you don't have to get started (sometimes this choice overwelms people, but it's not that big of a thing).
