Hi,
I am very very new to Linux after working my entire life with apple. But I want to try Linux and eventually turn over to it. In order to do so, I bought an older computer (Windows 10 is preinstalled) and wanted to install Linux. (Mint/ Cinnamon edition) My problem is now, that (maybe) I cannot boot from a USB-Stick or I have another probem that I do not know now, cause I do not have any glue about non-apple computers.
So I also do not know whether I can start from a USB-stick when using a Lenovo Think Center (desktop computer) that is more or less 10 years old.
Or (another possibility) I can start from the stick, but another problem is responsible.
Starting from a DVD would be more complicated as the computer has no DVD-burner. So I would have to buy one first.
Thanks for your ideas!
