Convert an old Windows PC to a Network Server with Ubuntu

All you need to do is have an ISO for what ever operating system you want. In this case a Ubuntu. I will provide you with the steps.

 

1. Open this link and it will provide you with the software that will allow you to install UBUNTU in your old PC. USB ISO Installer

2. Install the software to your USB. "Make sure USB is fat32"

3. Copy all the files of the ISO file of your UBUNTU server to the usb.

4. Plug usb to your pc and boot from USB.
