I have downloaded Linux Lite 64bit for ASUS computer more than once. I want to install Linux Lite and delete Windows 10. Where is the install program? Every file I click on causes Win10 to ask what to open it with.
I have created a win10 recovery USB stick just in case.
What file do I click on and how do I get the installation process started?
Thanks
Hello PeterLinuxLit,
what you have downloaded is not a program to click and run, it is an ISO, you cannot run that on Windows, or use something like ISO BPro easily to run it.
***You need to make either a USB or DVD of the iso, insert it and reboot, it will then boot up from the ISO file. Once booted up and you arrive at the Linux Lite desktop there is a file on the desktop "Install Linux". You click this and follow the instructions, this will install Linux, and remove Windows 10 if you choose this option to wipe hdd.***
Here is my tutorial on making the LIVE USB, do not make it on the same USB as the Windows 10 is stored, this will only complicate construction matters.

If you prefer to make the ISO as a DVD to install from here is my tutorial for making this

***Here is my tutorial video showing the install process using the USB or dvd you make of the downloaded ISO, from beginning to end including installing the first software on Linux Lite, video runs 11:47 Minutes, real time with edits takes about < 15 Minutes.
Begin video from 2:03 Minutes for installing.

Once it is installed, on reboot, to begin you will then need to follow the guide of "firenice03"

Thank you for your response. I followed your tutorial on making the Live USB with every step being completed successfully just as in your tutorial. Then when I clicked on it in File Explorer, it said E is not accessible. Volume does not contain recognized file system and then above it appeared Quick access with a bar going across. Before I formatted it, it was readable and showed capacity 32GB, available 32GB used 0. Now after the format, File explorer doesn't even see it, and Total Commander shows capacity 0, available 0, used 0.
