Greetings,
I am familiar with ubuntu through school, but very new to actually using it on my own computers.
I am currently (but wishing I wasn't) a Windows user, and trying to find a way o transfer over to a linux system completely, although that will take time to accomplish.
To get started, I know it is possible to install and operate ubuntu from a USB drive, but I dont know the details of how to do it and have included two starter questions below.
1.) Do I need a completely fresh usb drive with nothing else on it? Or can I put Ubuntu in a folder alongside other folders on the thumbdrive?
2.) Assuming it gets installed correctly, when you go to run ubuntu - can you run it inside windows, or do you have to redirect windows at startup/boot?
Any helpful pointers much appreciated!
Thank you!
