Using USB to install Ubuntu

Question

I installed Ubuntu onto my hard drive (from this website), then I transferred it onto my USB flash drive. When I try to boot it up it doesn't show up on my screen. What am I missing?

I get power options, "boot from USB" and "reset computer." I'm running w10 — Blake, Aug 28 '16 at 20:38

Try holding down shift and pressing the restart button at the same time. This will open up a BIOS menu, and within it there should be a setting to "boot from flash drive" instead of hard drive. Doing that should work.

Note that this only applies to Windows 8+ – wjandrea Aug 28 '16 at 13:06
I use Windows 10 – Blake Aug 28 '16 at 20:38
Then this should work fine for you. – Aug 28 '16 at 21:29
