How to Install Ubuntu using Wubi!

0 comments
In this video we will cover a quick and easy way to setup a dual boot system using the Wubi Installer. If you have never heard of the Wubi Installer, you may be wondering what it is.  Wubi is essentially a small application that grants the user the ability to start the Ubuntu install from with the Windows operating system. The magic doesn't stop there though.  At any point later, if you decide you want to wipe Ubuntu to reclaim the used hard drive space, or in attempt to wipe the drive and move solely into Linux from Windows, you can simply boot into Windows and remove the Ubuntu installation just as if it were a native Windows application from within the 'Add/Remove Programs' option in the Control Panel.

The Ubuntu installer has certainly gotten a lot better about keeping the 'confusion-factor' down for new user's when it comes to setting up a multi-operating system setup.  But Wubi takes just about all of the mystery out of it from the get go.  So be sure to checkout our video:

Windows 7 for Starters: How to Install Windows 7

0 comments
This is the very first video in the "Windows 7 for Starters" video series.  And as the title above says, we are going to cover How to Install Windows 7.  Now first and foremost, I completely understand that if you are new to Windows 7; more than likely, you'll not be installing it by yourself.  However, what better way to kick off a new series, than to at least show you how to get in onto your computer in the first place?

As mentioned in an earlier post, this series was designed with the new Windows 7 user in mind.  As with our other videos, I am using Oracle's VirtualBox to install the operating system and set it up.  The process will be the same if you are installing on a physical computer.

Enjoy!




And be sure to checkout our next video!  It will cover the basics of navigating and getting around in our new Windows 7 desktop!

As always be sure to drop me any questions or comments either on the site or over at my YouTube channel.

Thanks for watching!
