What is data mining?

Top Answerer

Data mining is the act of collecting various data from many specific sources (e.g., your social media habits). Data mining is (primarily) used to collect information which can then be used to target advertisements and other products towards you, although some people are afraid of companies using this information for nefarious reasons.

Question

I want to use both Ubuntu and Windows 7 without any data loss. How can I do that?

Community Answer

I would recommend using Windows 10 since it's the more current version. There are plenty of Ubuntu virtual machines online where you can download Ubuntu and run it with no problem alongside Windows.
