== Shrinking Windows Partition and a Note On Units (GiB vs GB) == Use Disk Management in Windows: press Windows key, type diskmgmt, click on first thing that has a blue gear and white checklist underneath. Then on the Windows (C:) block, right-click on that, and click "Shrink Volume". You will want to give as much disk space as you want to/can for Linux (minimum ~10GB, or ~9537MB, the units are wrong/misleading in Windows, [http://www.andrewwhyman.com/blog/rants/mb-mib-gb-gib-what-the-differences-are-and-why-it-causes-confusion/ it should be GiB/MiB because of the standard set in 2008 by the IEC (powers of 2 rather than 10, which are now technically supposed to be the MB, GB, etc, but GB/MB on many computers actually refers to GiB/MiB)]. Linux does this properly for a lot of things, which is why you see "GiB" instead of "GB" in many things.). You will also see this (usually) properly referred to in the chat as GiB/MiB, if you weren't aware, for example, 8 GiB of RAM = 8096 MiB of RAM = ... = 8*2^30 Bytes (B) = 2^3*2^30 B = (exponent rule) = 2^33 B of RAM.
