How to install ubuntu in my laptop? Where from I can get it? Is it free? What apps or software are required? I am using HP pavilion with Windows 8.1 Original Ver.

So in order:

Get it from here: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop What apps are required? None, you can either install Ubuntu (it will replace Windows 8.1 if you don't have a dual boot though) or launch it as a live cd to test before installing. Either way, you need to "boot" with the CD.

Basically, juste download the file from the official website, burn it on a CD (using Nero or whatever software), put it in your optical drive, reboot the machine and chose to boot from the CD.

There you go, hope it helps ;)
