  • Now write that .iso file to a USB drive with a program such as Rufus. When that is done, boot from that drive, and have fun. – Jos Aug 26 '20 at 16:39
  • What is "Ubuntu Late"? Setup your computer as a dual-boot machine, so you can boot into either OS. This way you can still run Windows-only apps, or do BIOS/firmware updates. – heynnema Aug 26 '20 at 16:53
  • Write it to a usb drive using etcher. It is (almost) impossible to do something wrong using etcher. WARNING: all data on your usb-drive will be lost. back it up first – MaxSilvester Aug 26 '20 at 17:32

You should first use a hypervisor like VirtualBox (free) on your Windows, to create a virtual Linux, and experiment there, while you still use Windows.. once you are ready to convert your hardware, and know what you are doing, then install on the hardware.. this way you will be able to revert back to saved snapshots, with ease, when you screw up..
