You will need to download your preferred version of Lubuntu (I recommend the LTS version) and then create a boot usb with the downloaded image file.

Once you have created the boot usb insert it into your laptop and boot it up. Different laptops use different keybindings but look for a setting that says something like "select boot device" and press (and hold) the corresponding key during the boot-up process. If you don't see any text like that it will likely be f10, f11, f12 or escape, try each of these.

From there the Lubuntu installer will start and you should be able to follow the on-screen instructions from there.

    only for propritery hardware. You can chec if everything works ok by boot into 'live mode' ( default option ) – totti Mar 07 '15 at 12:40
  • as @totti says, check that your wlan is working in the installation environment. If it's got no problems then you will be fine. If your wireless is not working properly try inserting an ethernet cable and selecting the checkbox that says something like "download updates during installation" and it will try to download your wireless driver automatically. – DJ_Beardsquirt Mar 09 '15 at 12:08
