My current OS is Windows and I want to start using Ubuntu. After I downloaded Ubuntu, I got a iso file and I have no idea what to do next.

Answer 1

To try Ubuntu you have to make a bootable flash drive.

Here are the steps:

• Visit Rofus - Create bootable USB drives and download the software.

  

• Once downloaded & installed it look like this.

  

• Now insert you pen-drive (>2GB) and select your USB by clicking on Device option in Rofus.

• Leave all other option as default.

• Now select the .iso for Ubuntu that you have downloaded by clicking on disk icon as shown.

  

• Now click on Start button it will take around 3-4 minutes.

• When your device is ready close Rofus.

• At last restart your device without removing pen-drive.

Hey! You can now install\try Ubuntu :)
