How to install Ubuntu on your computer

Ubuntu is installed on your PC via a USB stick. In addition, it is necessary to download the desired Ubuntu version from the Internet. If you want a longer support duration, look for the abbreviation "LTS" after the version number. Also download the program UNetbootin.

2. Connect a USB stick to a USB port of your choice to the PC. This requires at least 8 GB.
3. Then start UNetbootin.
4. In "Image" select the downloaded Ubuntu file. For "Type", specify "USB drive." Start the process via the "Ok" or "Next" button.
5. Once the process is finished, Ubuntu is installed on your USB stick.
6. After you have restarted your PC, select the USB stick as a boot option in the BIOS.
7. Now the installation process starts automatically. Follow the instructions and once you have the choice, select "Download updates while Ubuntu is being installed" and "Install third-party software for graphics and Wi-Fi hardware, MP3 and other media".
8. Follow the installation wizard. Note: Once you have installed Unbuntu, all data on your hard drive will be deleted.
