Alright, it appears that I’ve already done something wrong. I rebooted the computer with the new Linux disk and nothing happened. Same boot up procedure as usual - and I’m still in Windows 10.
I’m wondering if the DVD even recorded the OS from the site. How can I tell?
Just a copy of the files will not boot. It has to be written to the disk as a bootable “ISO image”. Do you have 7 or 10?
I did that the first time too. lol
Keep in mind once you do have it right; it takes awhile to boot it from the disk. The screen will go black for quite awhile because it has to load the whole 2 gigs to temp storage in the computer before it comes on line for you. Once you actually decide to install it, it will boot FAST. :)
I think probably you didn’t burn it as an ISO- If you have windows 10, right click on the file you downloaded, and choose ‘Burn disk image”
Hopefulyl htis is all you have to do- if it still doesn’t work- let us know- there are other methods to burn an iso
