How do I download Ubuntu onto a USB stick? And can I then install alongside Windows 7? Or is it better to boot from the USB.

See also How can I install Ubuntu without removing Windows? and How do I install Ubuntu from an USB drive / create a live USB-stick in Windows? In short, booting from USB and installing alongside Windows 7 are not mutually exclusive. Booting from USB is even one of the most common ways to install Ubuntu (alongside Windows 7 or otherwise) and doing so will let you test the system before installing it (though it will work a bit differently once installed).– Eliah KaganAug 22, 2014 at 22:30

Please atleast try Google first
Install Ubuntu alongside Windows
I know it says Windows 8.1 and you have 7 but just ignore the first step and adjust accordingly
You ca use it from USB but it is MUCH (proberly about 20 times) slower to read/write a USB VS a HDD, try both see what suits you.

Whilst this may theoretically answer the question, it would be preferable to include the essential parts of the answer here, and provide the link for reference. Aug 22, 2014 at 22:28
