Perhaps, simplest for you to select auto/fulldisk install. The installer will create all partitions for you.

Yes, this is a good solution for users who only want the ONE MX system on the computer's hard disk.

If you want to keep your current OS and ADD MX to the hard disk, this will not work for you.

Be careful, The automatic/use full disk option will destroy any previous OS on the disk. If this is what you want that will be fine.

Otherwise, use Gparted to RESIZE the current OS partition. Then created a NEW partition in the now empty space. You should try for 15-20GB of free space for MX, more would be better. You may also want a second partition in that space to use for a LinuxSwap type.

If you are new to partitioning, and Gparted type tools, please backup your hard disk with an image file before you re-partition - IF you want to keep what you already have.
