Restart your computer and go to the select boot option (I think its usually F12 or F2 not really sure).

When you restart your PC it will show you which button to press to enter boot option.

Then select the USB boot.Now your Linux should run, it will take a little time to load the system, don't
worry if you see lines of codes ..etc Smile its normal.
After that you will know what happens Smile don't worry because of the different interface
or how the OS feels, play with it and you will feel comfortable after a while Smile

Cheers mate and Have Fun Biggrin

//Edit #1: Which Linux Flavor/distro are you using ?
//Edit #2: Be aware to not install the Linux on your PC, if you liked it then search on how
you can dual boot Smile but for most part I don't think you will need to have dual boot unless
you are a Linux lover & windows lover at same time Smile

There's a metric fuck-tonne of tutorials which teach you how to do this on YouTube.
Try checking out some of these videos: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+boot+linux+from+usb

If you haven't already installed, use this FOR SURE. Loading the .iso onto a disc is a huge pain in the ass, as I found out today. (it usually corrupts the damn thing). I'll probably do this sooner or later.

Make USB disk FAT format partition then install iso to disk using Unetbootin. Thats what I used to boot from disk.

You should have a .iso file which you'll have to either burn on a CD/DVD or create a bootable USB, Google for Live Linux USB

Use unetbootin. Short and simple.

In which case just do what @"Netero" said and boot from it
