make sure its the latest live cd as it will have support for more hardware.
and its not particularly a system test, its just a live cd. You will just boot it and see if it works (video, networking, peripherals).
If everything is fine in the live environment, it should be fine in the install.
Back up all your important info first. And read.

The installer has gotten pretty good at resizing windows partitions during the install. Dual booting is usually really easy now.

Unbuntu has one downfall.

Internet-dependant.

Without net access it's nearly useless.
