How to install Linux on a laptop?

This page is place holder for a project to install Linux on a laptop, keeping windows already installed on the laptop, in order to dual boot.

We are going to perform the following steps in order:

1) Learn to boot the laptop using an external boot device (usb stick...). See https://linux.overshoot.tv/wiki/boot_external_device .

2) Investigate the amount of data on the hard drives, space left, etc. and make a backup of the system and all important files.
