If all I have is Windows 7/8/10 installed on my laptop and the Linux .iso is on the root of the C:\ drive, how can I reboot my laptop and simply pick the Linux .iso? I have seen and tried EasyBCDEdit and Wubi and others, but I don't want to install Linux. I just want to run my live .iso for testing sometimes. It's easy to do with the USB stick and DVD drive, but I can't seem to get it to work the hard drive way. Thank you for any help!!

The easy answer is: buy 500 USB sticks at 5$ a pop, install Lubuntu onto them without any proprietary drivers and send these to your field users through snail mail and tell them to read their BIOS/UEFI manual on how to boot from USB.
Any other solution would be consultancy, not a question on AU...
Your real question is "How to deploy Ubuntu over the Internet onto 500 Windows machines?" and that question is too broad to answer here as it just depends on the infrastructure you've got, what kind of devices, ...
The other way of doing this would be to boot the .iso from the Windows boot manager, but that would be off-topic here!
Sorry!
