Before you actually install, I'd suggest you get comfortable with mint by booting from usb - this is actually how the usb installer works anyway, and you can do most things this way to test out how it feels. It will run slower, but it's fast enough to use for real work, e.g. web browsing, word processing, even digital art. You can use it to test that all your hardware works as expected - especially WiFi, graphics, sound, camera etc. The only hardware thing I have found that doesn't usually work is fingerprint readers. 80gb is more than enough to start with. Dual boot is a reasonable way to start, but bear in mind that windows is apt to break booting other operating systems sometimes during updates, because it might mess with the boot loader or boot configuration, so make sure to find out how to fix that - there is a utility on the mint usb for fixing just this problem.
