Hi Jeremy,
I forgot to explain that I have 2 PC's, a quad PC on which I have Windows 10,
and an HP computer system on which I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed, and which I
want to upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04.2 (I already have the ISO file in my Downloads
directory). Thanks for the links.
Marlon S.

Marlon,
Ubuntu has a tutorial on their site that walks you through the process for
creating the USB, maybe that will be more helpful:
https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-create-a-usb-stick-on-windows
As you now have Windows installed, there is no way to "upgrade" a previous
version of Ubuntu. If you awnt to try Ubuntu 16.04.2, you can simply follow the
instructions in the tutorial above. Then, once you have the bootable USB
created, you can follow their other tutorial on actually installing Ubuntu on
your computer:
https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-install-ubuntu-desktop
Keep in mind that if you follow their instructions, that will wipe everything
else on your computer--Windows will be deleted.
Following Ian's point, you may want to try Ubuntu's forums if you run into
further issues, as they will have people who understand the operating system
much better than anyone on this list: https://ubuntuforums.org/
Ubuntu Forums<https://ubuntuforums.org/>
ubuntuforums.org
The water cooler of UbuntuForums, a place to discuss pretty much anything
(within reason). You will also find our resolution centre, forum council agenda
and much more.
Yours
Jeremy

I hate to discourage conversation, but honestly, this is way off topic for this
list and frankly much too complex a topic to attempt through email alone.
Thanks folks,

Hi Brian,
What I really wanted to do was upgrade my Linux Ubuntu 9.10 to Ubuntu 16.04.2.
I have already downloaded the ISO file into my Downloads directory. What should
I do next?
Cheers,
Marlon S.

An ISO image can be written to USB flash to boot, rather than writing out to
CD/DVD media
From Google search:

Getting an ISO file onto a USB drive isn't as easy as copying the file. Here's
a complete tutorial on how to burn an ISO to USB (like a flash drive).
(have done this myself many times)

Hi Marlon -
I see you have given up installing this but the .iso in the file name would
indicate that this is a CD image and needs to be burned to a CD.
Does your computer have the ability to boot from a CD to install the CD data
onto the hard drive?

I recently downloaded Ubuntu-16.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso into my Downloads dir,
but I'm not sure how to install it into my HP desktop system. I just got a 64
GB HP flash drive, so maybe that will help. Please advise me on this. Thank you.
