The most important screen comes at this time. You can update Ubuntu later as well without any issues.

You may uncheck it because it may increase the installation time if you have a slow internet. If you are connected to internet, you’ll get the option to download updates while installing Ubuntu. You should go for the normal installation here because it will install some software like music player, video players and a few games. Choose the most appropriate ones for your system. Plug in both USBs to your PC.It will ask you to choose some basic configurations like language and keyboard layout. Let's look into how to install Ubuntu on a USB. The live distribution only gives a small testing experience and harder to store the data. Installing Linux onto a USB gives a full experience same as having it on a computer or laptop. Otherwise, it allows USB to use only on a Legacy boot enabled computer. The system settings of the VirtualBox allow enabling EFI so the Live OS correctly installs GRUB to the UEFI partition. When using a VirtualBox you only need one USB. And enable it back before rebooting before the end of the installation.Īn alternative method is to use a VirtualBox. The solution is to remove the ESP flag of the ESP partition from the disk of the system where you performing the installation. This happens because the system keeps only one ESP partition live at a time. ie its overwriting the UEFI boot loader of your computer system. While installing Linux to the USB, its EFI files will be added to the ESP partition of the Laptop/system from where you performing the installation. Since we are using the UEFI boot system, we have a challenge to solve. Recommended the USB where Linux is installed has to be USB 3.0, USB 2.0 might be slower or even not work.
