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

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.
