  • Is is not clear if you are having trouble with creating a USB installer, or using it to install Ubuntu. Ask a clearer question.

    It is the core of the Windows OS so it shouldn't cause any problem.

To install the ISO on a USB stick on ubuntu, you can use the startup disk creator as described here.

On windows, you can use the USB installer provided at pendrivelinux.com. You'll find the download here.

Once you have the bootable USB stick, switch off your computer and insert the USB drive. If you switch on the computer, enter the BIOS menu and choose to boot from USB. You normally find a message when booting how to enter BIOS on your system. (Something like 'Press F12 to enter boot menu')
