I recently reset my computer because the Windows OS was corrupted and couldn't be reinstalled. Now, I'm ready to switch to Linux and have downloaded it onto a flash drive using another computer. I've plugged the drive into my current tower, but I'm not sure how to proceed with the installation. Can someone guide me on what steps to take from here?

What Linux distribution are you planning to use? If it’s Linux Mint, I found this helpful video that walks you through the process: [Watch here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_qZI6i21jB4). Let me know if you need more info!
Just a heads up, remember to note down your Windows OS key before wiping everything for Linux. It’s helpful if you ever want to revert back.
First, make sure to boot your computer with the flash drive plugged in. You might need to tweak some BIOS settings to let your computer start from the USB. While you're at it, it’s a good idea to disable secure boot as well.
YouTube has tons of tutorials on this! But if you run into specific issues, just ask. Most Linux distros come with straightforward installers, so you should just need to click through some options to get it set up.
