It's almost always better to install Windows first, then Linux on top of that - because Linux is aware of Windows, and it's careful to preserve it; Windows is not nearly as good at preserving a pre-existing Linux install (e,g, installing Windows will usually shit on your bootloader - which is recoverable, but a PITA).

Thank you, thank you, thank you. In that case, doing this will be much easier.

Easiest option by far is to burn or buy an Ubuntu install disc.
