Ok here is the story once upon a time.... wait wrong story
Alright now seriously the story is I bought my laptop on boxing day, it was running fine but lately its been getting buggy, my sister who owns the same laptop had hers crash a few days ago and she got hers 2 weeks before iI got mine. Now normally I would assume it would be the computer but apparently its windows 7 that's the culprit even the manufacturer said that it's auto updates aren't always compatible and it may do some damage, so to avoid having to deal with evil companies I have been thinking of going to linux ubuntu. This isn't the first time I have considered it and I tried installing it on another laptop that was laying around I managed to get it to work except the wireless internet but that was because of the brand name and I couldn't figure out the coding to get it to function.
Now here is where you come in fellow escapists, Figuring i only have about 2 weeks till my computer may die, I am coming to you asking if you can help me with Linux, I'm aware that there was a virtual machine program for XP and Vista that allowed you to run linux inside of windows without partitioning your hard drive, is there anyway i would be able to do this inside of windows 7? Or must i partition it?
I'm sorry if this offensive to anyone or if I have any grammar errors but i really would like to get this sorted out, if anyone can help please do.
