Have you tried booting from a USB drive or CD?
Have you tried booting from a USB drive or CD?
(
I just received a free PC that’s much older than me. It doesn’t come with an operating system. At first, I considered Linux Mint XCFE since it works well on systems with only 3GB of RAM. But then I wondered how I’d be able to use the USB drive without any OS installed! What should I do? (

I employ Rufus to generate bootable USB drives (https://rufus.ie/en/)
