New here.
I've downloaded Zorinos core & want to try it out on my windows computer. How do I get it onto a USB stick so it will work from there?
thanks

This is getting absurd.
I installed "etcher' used it to install zorin education on a 32GB USB.
Did not work!
Looked at the properties of the USB & got a shock, it showed at 1st as being only 2.3 MB & 80% full. Pulled it, put it back in & it shows as being totally empty.
Can you explain to me what's happening before I wind up in a straight jacket?

oh & it still shows the USB as having a capacity of only 2.37 MB. Trying to format with Windows format is no help for it too identifies the USB as only 2.37 MB.
In brief it seems like etcher messed up my USB

Hi, please PM AZorin or zorink - they are the people who advised on Etcher.

Okay folks in the meantime I discovered that Etcher did not ruin my USB stick. Zorin got installed on it okay just that for some reason, maybe someone here can explain, it took up almost the entire 32GB & windows was unable to read what is inside the used space.
Thanks & sorry I didn't get back to oyu folks sooner, up to my ears in alligators.
