What does "trying to get away" mean exactly ?

The web pages tell me you need to shrink C: a bit, and the
space made available, can be used for Linux. Then,
you dual boot. Install Windows first, install Linux second,
for least boot-maintenance.

It's not absolutely essential that a computer be opened
up to prepare for a Linux dual boot.

You can also use virtual machines to run OSes. I have two, ready
to run, on my D: drive right now. That does not require opening
a computer either. It helps to have enough RAM for the number
of OSes you plan on running.

Make a backup before you do your install, some of our friends
here do not recognize what "danger" is, or how to insulate
against "dangerous" activity. While installing Linux software isn't
generally dangerous, I've lost the content of two disks
along the way. For example, before installing a Debian, you
*absolutely* do a backup. The other Linuxes to date, they have
been generally reasonable from a policy perspective. Some
of the Linux installers do things in the wrong order, don't
make the right options available during an install and so on.
You can study the losers, in your VM setup first :-) That's one
of the general rules I have "if you can't behave yourself
in my VM, you don't get to live on my disk drive". I've had
just one Linux OS which crashed on boot in the VM test
(which makes the OS a "total failure" and a waste-of-bytes).
