Step 8: Boot from the USB Drive
- Insert the USB drive into the target computer.
- Reboot the computer and access the boot menu or BIOS/UEFI settings (typically by pressing a key like F2, F12, Del, etc., during startup).
- Select to boot from the USB drive.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to install or run the operating system from the USB drive.
Important Note: Always ensure that the target computer’s hardware is compatible with the operating system you are installing. Remember, creating a bootable USB will delete everything on the USB drive.
Creating a bootable USB drive from an Ubuntu system is a straightforward process that opens up a world of possibilities. Whether you’re installing a new OS or running a live system for testing and troubleshooting, these steps will help you get started quickly and efficiently.
