You will need to create a partition that Linux can use. This can be
in addition to windows and can be created non destructively with
something like cfdisk, fdisk (linux) or maybe partition magic.

Dual booting is an excellent way to learn your way round Linux while
keeping your old OS intact.

A good program to use is "DiskDruid" this is very easy to use and simple to
understand.

To install Linux you need two partitions: one for the OS/Your Files and the
other is a filesystem for temporary "paged" memory - kind of like a windows
swap file, but much quicker and vastly superior.

If you need more advice, feel free to post. I'm here to answer questions.
