To install Ubuntu on your computer, you need to follow several steps. First, you should download the Ubuntu ISO file from the official Ubuntu website. Next, create a bootable USB drive using a tool like Rufus or Etcher, which will allow your computer to boot from the USB and initiate the Ubuntu installation process.
Once your computer boots from the USB, you'll be greeted by the Ubuntu installer. Follow the on-screen instructions to select your language, keyboard layout, and other preferences. During the installation, you'll have the option to choose between installing Ubuntu alongside your current operating system or erasing the disk and installing Ubuntu as the sole operating system.
For example, if you choose to install Ubuntu alongside Windows, the installer will guide you through partitioning your hard drive to allocate space for Ubuntu while keeping your Windows partition intact. After completing these steps, the installer will copy the necessary files to your computer, configure the system, and finally, reboot your computer.
Upon restarting, you'll be able to choose which operating system to boot into, allowing you to access Ubuntu alongside your existing OS.
If you're looking for a cloud-based solution for hosting Ubuntu, consider using Tencent Cloud's Elastic Cloud Server (ECS). With ECS, you can easily deploy Ubuntu instances and manage them through the Tencent Cloud Console, providing a scalable and flexible cloud computing environment.
