Trying to run a linux iso

[alecxander]

Hello basically I downloaded a linux distro I have been using every version for years (Zorin 12.1) I went to run the Iso and my computer doesnt recognize the iso file. I have redownloaded double checked download site. The computer no matter what happens bypasses directly to win 10. Also if anyone has any help keeping win 10 running please let me know. It has been a nightmare with almost fifteen wipes and restarts. Random stuff like malware is extremely hard to get rid of in win 10 and keeps saying my start up is corrupted and will lag something serious in any of my browsers. I checked computer and usually only run fifty percent of hte memory and about 10 percent of the cpu. Any suggestions?

Sounds like youre trying to boot from it. Unless you burned it to dvd or put it on a flash drive with something like rufus.

The ISO itself isnt bootable

Dont think its malware if youve formatted so many times. Sounds like the hdd maybe the prob. Or something else is faulty

MERGED QUESTION
Question from alecxander : "Ok so when I try to install a linux iso on my harddrive I get some different errors. The one isnt recognized at all then I get"

I have tried installing linux mainly ubuntu and zorin editions alongside win 10 I have had several unsuccessful attempts. Each one just sits there and will only prompt into win 10.

You will have to repair the GRUB bootloader.
