Actually it isn't that simple, first of all you have to follow this instructions:

Then go to BIOS setup (When you turn on your computer hit F2 until you enter in the BIOS setup) and set the USB stick as the first bootable device, then you will be able to install Ubuntu in your computer with that USB stick.

If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Note: Within the links there is detailed information to follow if you get stucked.

  • And it depends on your hardware, not all hardware is compatible with linux

  • Selecting it as a Boot Device before it boots is better, as if it is set as first bootable device, it will try and boot using USB sticks as default... Also, you can use <kbd>F2</kbd> in your answer instead of a code block of F2 :-)
