(SOLVED) install with windows

Ok, simple question I reckon but want to be sure.

When I click install alongside windows, it shows my harddisk, and divides it into 2, I assume the 1st partition is where my windows install is, and the 2nd where zorin will go? My windows is currently taking up 141gb of 500gb, so, if I make the 1st partition 300gb(for windows), my zorin partition will be the rest, correct?

Hi and welcome,

yes you are correct, if you want to do a bit more of an advanced install, you can create your own partitions and use them, when asked by the installer where you want to install, select something else and point it to the 3 partitions you already created.

1 root ( / is the mount point) of about 15 - 20 GB
2 swap which should be twice your RAM on an older PC (swap has no mount point)
3 home which should be nothing less than 20 - 30 GB ( /home is the mount point)
