How install linux mint on computer?

Question

I already create USB for boot linux in computer. But i dont know how

Answer 1

-Turn computer off
-plug in usb
-turn on computer and spam your system's boot order key (I have to spam f1 when i cut the computer on)
-choose the bootable usb
-allocate some space in your hard drive for new os or completly wipe windows (usually happens w/ install)
-enter rest of info and let it install

-ps: you can change boot order in bios settings so it boots directly to mint instead of having to spam each time you turn it on, grub usually allows you to choose your boot at startup in case you have something else
