Don’t forget the credentials you entered for the root user and the non-admin user. Most of the process is following the defaults and just pressing Continue. Plugin the loaded USB drive in your system and boot from USB.If you’re on a linux system, you could use dd instead. Download Balena Etcher, a tool to write ISO images to a USB drive.I pick the “Small” image as it includes most files in the image, requiring less to be downloaded during the install process. This process is the same for just about any system.
