Any fool can use a computer. Many do. 
There are some things to be aware of: if you dual-boot besides a pre-installed Windows 7, you may already have the maximum number (four) of primary partitions that a hard-drive can have. The Ubuntu installer won't be able to create the partition in that case.

If so, you need to delete a primary partition and create an extended partition, which can then be divided into several logical partitions. There are guides on the internet on how to do this.
