Does this answer your question? How do I install Ubuntu alongside a pre-installed Windows with UEFI? and What is the proper way of creating installation media from Ubuntu iso? — karel, Jan 01 '22 at 08:16
Thank you for comments they were helpful in helping me think through what I needed to do. I did figure out how to create bootable USB drive. I also bought an ebook on learning linux OS from manning.com reading this and doing the activities each day. I've got this! Thanks again and Happy New Year!! — elis007, Dec 31 '21 at 18:19
