And, if necessary, how to remove the linux?

TAHNKS.

 

We don't have Linux installed yet, and already asking for removal procedures? 

 

We'll cross that bridge when we get to it. However, I do suggest that you backup your computer before install, that way should you not like it, you can easily revert back with your rescue media that the backup software should prompt you to create. 

 

Maybe you should try this in a virtual machine first, this is how I normally test Linux releases that I've never used. That way, no harm is done. 

 

That being said, with all of the information you now have, 9 whole pages of it, you should be able to perform a Linux install. If only in 2009, someone would have dedicated that much assistance to me when beginning my Linux journey. I had to learn it all the hard way the first couple of years with next to no assistance & during that period, installed little software nor made changes to improve performance because, 1) There was nowhere near as much documentation & tutorials about Linux as today, 2) I feared breaking the install by making many changes. 

 

If I were to begin today, neither of those barriers would exist, there's endless pages of documentation & helpful assistance on this site to guide me enough to feel more confident. I too was a bit nervous about installing Linux the first & more so the 2nd time. 

 

I believe that if you just install the OS as instructed, all will work out. :)

That's all, "I install linux" LOL.  Tell us how you like it and how well it works.

If I don't reply right away it's because I'm waiting for Windows 10 to Update.

i install linux.

 

That's fantastic to hear, RAMIA! :)

 

So please tell us, how do you like the OS? Any favorite features? 

 

And did you do one of the things most important, activating the Firewall as instructed a couple of times prior? We're always here, should you need assistance, don't hesitate to ask.
