Why you wish to install ubuntu?
any version thatcan handle chrome properly
and play movies if possible
the laptop has 4gb ram and an amd e1 processor
still even watching video on 480p is not possible
some fucking services like nsgpuminer.exe shoo up the cpu and memory usage to 100%
If there a re two partitions…….say C and D
The partition in which windows is installed ,let it be C.
Then install Ubuntu in D but it will erase every data on D but not necessarily on C.
And if it has 3-4 partitions then keep the remaining files on any other drive and then install ubuntu on any partition.
But the partition on which ubuntu will be installed will be erased conpletely.
Cannot see the video you shared, but there is an option with ubuntu asking you to choose options to install in which there will be one option in the similar lines of “install along side windows” this option will not remove any of your windows files.
Hope you have gone through the below URL:

yes but it asks me the partition on which I want to install linux
I have three partitions on the laptop
the c partition on which windows is installed
the d on which one key recovery data is installed
and the largest g drive in which all my data is present
I guess like dealseeker said messing with the partition or installing a new os might corrupt the entire partition
If u are that concerned use wubi installer for installing/uninstalling ubuntu
Although wubi got discontinued long back there are few working ones

Don’t worry about your Files. I installed Ubuntu Via Bootable Usb and it made a separate partition for itself. ( It shrinked one of the partitions )
After removing ubuntu my Windows PC has 5 Drives.
Things you’ll love about Ubuntu.
- Faster than any version of Windows.
- Almost Double Battery Life.
- No Virus… and many more…
I removed it because I got tired of Opening Terminal and writing commands every now and then
if you only want to run chrome, why bother with installing ubuntu at all. just make a bootable ubuntu/xubuntu usb pen drive in persistence mode (you will need to make 2 ext3 partitions in the pendrive and name them “home-rw” and “casper-rw” first). install chrome on the bootable instance and enjoy. further, you can also mount the existing windows partitions also in the bootable instance.
don’t want to bottleneck the dead laptop any further
Instead of ubantu…you can try cent os, which had good GUI and performance & for installation…I suggest you…try dual boot by installing c drive only because of only 1 data drive available. be careful while doing partitions.
Centos not suggested over Ubuntu for a normal user. It’s a server os and use more resources.
Ubuntu uses different file system you have to format the drive into ext4/ext3 which means whichever drive you chose for Ubuntu installation will no longer show in windows system plus the chosen drive will be formatted.
