Bill Taylor will be proud of me. For about $16 US, I paid a computer shop to install Ubuntu on an 8 gig thumb drive.
It is not difficult. During start-up, I had to press F11 (This will vary on different computers) to get the option to boot off a thumb drive. A tiny Ubuntu icon appeared, and after ten seconds the entire program opened. A column of icons on the left made it easy to find my way around.
I did not have to sign onto any account, so I had to go to Outlook.com to get into my e-mail account. As with every new computer and/or operating system, I have to sign in to everything that ever required registration.
Folks, it is easy to do.
