I'm replacing Windows 10 with Ubuntu. I downloaded Rufus and put the Ubuntu IOS on a flash drive.

I've rebooted my computer and clicked into the Ubuntu file on the flash drive.

I find several files with names like ".disk," "boot" and "install."

From here, I cannot figure out how to install. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Thank you.

1. Boot to the Ubuntu's bootable media

You need to boot to the USB, do this by acessing BIOS at your computer startup, by pressing key x (consult your computer vendor for more details) and then, select your flash drive at boot options. After this, just press enter when you are seeing the GRUB bootloader. Next, wait some time and you will see your Ubuntu desktop.

2. Install Ubuntu

Simply click on the icon called "Install Ubuntu" that is at your desktop, which launches Ubuntu's automated GUI installer, called "ubiquity". Then just install it.

Since you are replacing. Just do the erase disk and install Ubuntu, if you have multiple drives, they let you choose which drive.

Also, make sure you edit your boot option from your bios to boot from a USB, it's based on your motherboard so look it up. Make sure you installed the usb corectly with soemthing like UNetbootin : http://unetbootin.github.io/
