The above application is pretty straightforward. Download the program and follow the instructions.
Make sure to backup the contents of your flash drive as it will be wiped. All your data will be permanently erased.

Once the application has finished successfully, you have a bootable flash drive. Plug it into the PC you want to install the OS on and see if the PC will boot from the pendrive. If so, follow the instructions.

If not, you must go into the BIOS (typically, press DEL or F2 as you boot) and change the boot priorities to have:
1. Your USB Drive
2. Your Hard Drive

If you have anymore questions, don't hesitate.

Thank quicksand, if i boot linux from USB will i be able to run applications such as CPU-g or google chrome? That's the only 2 Applications i need before i get windows
Edit: Actually i dont need chrome if there's a browser in ubuntu. Just need to download CPU-G to check some stuff

If it is a LiveCD, you can boot and install applications to the flash drive. Installation of an OS is simple. Plug it in and boot into it via the BIOS.

Ubuntu should come with Firefox. On a side note, you don't need cpu-g to check system information on Linux.
