Install

You are all set to install Linux on your device.

If you have not yet done so; ensure you have backed up all your data! In the (unlikely) case something goes terribly wrong, you can recover your data.

Boot from Stick

You now want to boot from the USB stick (if you have not already done so, depending on your existing operating system).

This step can be tricky, as the way to accomplish this is different over different devices and brands. Generally you need to look for something like "BIOS" or "startup device". You then need to choose the USB stick as the startup device.

You can enter the BIOS or change the startup device usually with the function keys (such as F1, F8, F10, F12) or with other keys like ESC or Enter.

The most common keys by brand:

  • Lenovo: Enter
  • HP: Esc
