I made the usb image restarted windows loaded. I restarted hit F12 choose Load USB drive. Then it restarted but it wouldn't pass the Bios check it kept flashing and wouldn't stop. so, I hit ctrl+alt+delete to restart. this time it passed the bios check, but then a message said

the iOS file (ubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64) on The USB drive can't be read by windows. aborting operation, please remove USB drive.

I did, then the PC restarted It took 30 minutes to restart after it started it said it has to repair windows OS files that were damaged. that took another 30 minutes.

I reread the documents of how to just try ubuntu. I did everything like it said but it will not let me try it out. So, I deleted the USB stick with CCleaner then rewrote the USB with the iOS file (ubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64), and it did the same as the first time.

All I want to do is try it out, to see if its for me, or not. This makes me wonder if the OS is going to do the same?

I am currently using Windows 10, 64-Bit.

You may need to verify that you are using the correct architecture for your computer: You may have downloaded the wrong installation file.

Linux is powerful insofar as you have control over your PC, but it's also a "double-edged sword" in that this can be a hassle as we lack Microsoft/Apple doing things for us ...
