I want to know what kind of installation is the best for me. I bought my computer with windows 7 preinstalled in it and I upgraded it to windows 8. It is in BIOS mode and I saw that i need to install ubuntu the same, in BIOS and I saw that ubuntu in BIOS is the classic installation, but what is THE CLASSIC INSTALLATION of Ubuntu ?

Thanks Ubuntu User

BIOS mode is absolutely fine. I have never head of "The CLASSIC INSTALLATION" of Ubuntu. There's Gnome Classic, which is a desktop environment. To switch to Unity log out, and where you login there should be a little icon. Click the icon and select "Ubuntu". Then you should start in Unity.

You can take a look here for other desktop environments.

  • If you asking how to install ubuntu, I would recommend using a CD and installing it that way. This would mean changing you hard drive layout which will mean data loss.

  • Same answer, you would just install windows and Linux side by side. See this post
