If you want to dual boot I suggest getting a second hard drive (a little SSD maybe) and installing Linux on that. Then you can select what OS to boot through the BIOS

It'll be way easier and less risky than trying to install Linux alongside windows on the same hard drive, and it'll also stop windows from screwing with the bootloader when it updates.
