As seen on Windows 10 (now Ubuntu)
What?
This is the story of the time I installed Linux / Ubuntu (and lost all my pictures and also my Windows Operating System)
Why?
Windows was occupying a lot of space and not letting me do cool stuff. And what exactly is it updating every week?! Also I thought somehow Ubuntu would allow to me train my Deep Learning Models. (Nope, doesn't work, need more CPU power, and a GPU, not just free Hard Disk space or a different OS :)
How
- Save your precious stuff because even if you think you are going to keep Windows, you may end up formatting your other disks!
- Get Ubuntu from https://www.ubuntu.com/desktop
- Get https://unetbootin.github.io/ to boot
- Save these two things on a USB drive (e.g. pen-drive)
- Use unetbootin to extract ubuntu iso on pen-drive or hard disk(if you want to remove windows)
- Restart Computer
- On my dell, pressing F12 took me to boot up settings.
- Select booting from pen-drive
- Install Ubuntu or try out first (did both)
- During installation it will ask if you want to format your disk. I formatted it, but if you want to keep Windows, too, choose not to format.
