Ok great, How do I use it?
Insert the USB flash drive into the laptop or PC you want to use to install Ubuntu and boot or restart the device. It should recognise the installation media automatically. If not, try holding F12 during startup and selecting the USB device from the system-specific boot menu.
F12 is the most common key for bringing up the system boot menu but Escape, F2 and F10 are common alternatives. If unsure, look for a brief message when your system starts – this often informs you which key to press to access the boot menu.
Once the installer has initialised, you are invited to choose your language.
And then presented with the option to select any accessibility settings your require.
Your keyboard layout.
And connect to your network. This allows Ubuntu to download updates and third party drivers (such as NVIDIA graphics drivers) during installation.
You are then offered the choice to try or install Ubuntu.
If you click Try Ubuntu, you can preview Ubuntu without making any changes to your PC. You can return to the installer menu at any time by clicking the Install Ubuntu shortcut on the desktop.
To proceed, click Install Ubuntu.
Some PCs use Intel RST (Rapid Storage Technology), which is not supported by Ubuntu. If this is the case, you will not be able to proceed beyond this point without disabling RST in the BIOS menu of your machine. If you encounter this alert, visit the Ubuntu website for more information.
