Step 1: Download Ubuntu Linux 2025
First, visit the official Ubuntu website: ubuntu.com.
- Navigate to the Download section.
- Click on Download Ubuntu Desktop.
- Choose the latest version, and click on the Download button.

Step 2: Download Rufus Tool
Next, download the Rufus software, which helps create a bootable USB:
- Visit the official Rufus website.

- Rufus will help you easily transfer the Ubuntu ISO to your USB drive.
Step 3: Prepare a USB Drive
You will need a USB drive with at least 8GB of space.
- Insert the USB into your PC.
- Make sure to backup any important data, as the USB will be formatted during the process.
Step 4: Create a Bootable USB with Rufus
- Open Rufus.
- In the Device section, select your inserted USB drive.
- Click on SELECT and browse to locate the downloaded Ubuntu ISO file.
- Before proceeding, check your system’s partition style:
- Right-click Start > Disk Management.
- Right-click your system disk (usually “C:”), select Properties, go to Volumes, and check if the partition style is GPT or MBR.
- Based on your partition style:
- Select GPT if it says GPT.
- Select MBR if it says MBR.
- Keep the other settings at default and click START.
- Choose “Write in ISO Image Mode” and click OK.
- The process will take a few minutes. Once complete, you will have a bootable Ubuntu installation USB.
Step 5: Boot from the USB

- Shut down your PC.
- Power it on and immediately start pressing your Boot Menu Key (varies by brand – e.g., F9, F12, Esc, etc.).

- Warning: Make sure you have backed up important data if choosing this.
- Set up your region/location.
- Create your Username, Computer Name, and Password.

The installation might take around 30 minutes depending on your system.
