Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. U can. There are two options. 1 single boot option. 2 dual boot 1. Single boot option. While installing Ubuntu or fedora choose custom disk partition, allocate whole disk for Linux with root partition and swap partition and optional choice of other partitions, don't forget to add boot partition. 2. Dual boot option. Similar to option one but during custom option, shrinking the windows NTFS partition to 100GB and use remaining to Linux with boot partition. 3. Option 3 remove and replace the SATA disk with new 1 TB SATA disk ( u can buy for 80$ max ) and make 100% Linux OS. Replacing hard disk and upgrade memory involves removing back side cover with care need special screw drivers set. Whatever u do u loose warrenty. Be careful in doing this choice unless u have done so or experience with dual boot and boot options with bios options.
