• USB connection.
• Go to https://ubuntu.com/download and click Ubuntu Desktop.
• Click the Download button .
• On the next page, you can donate to the Ubuntu team or just scroll down and click "Not now, take me to the download" to continue without donating.

2. Merge ISO to USB

• Open Rufus or the tool you want to use to merge the ISO file into USB.
• Select Ubuntu ISO downloaded and the USB you want to use.

Note : The USB will be erased during this process, please back up the necessary data before you proceed.

• Click Start and wait for the process to finish.

Use Ubuntu from USB

• Connect the USB and boot the system. When you see the Dell logo, pressF12repeatedly.
• Select USB in the BIOS boot menu.

• When Linux starts, you will be prompted to install Ubuntu, but check Ubuntu instead.
