Process:

1. download RUFUS
2. Download one of the .iso files below.
3. open Rufus, make sure to select the downloaded iso, en "burn" it on a USB stick (>4 gigabytes)

If you cannot get hold of rufus, you can use the command line (cmd) and the dd command.

4. Plugin the USB. Make sure it is formatted.
5. take note of the drive designation: d,e,f,g, etc. In this case I will use d.
6. Open cmd. (menu: search: cmd)
7. enter the following code, applying your personal settings:

<<< dd if=c:\path_to_folder\path_to_folder\filename.iso" of=d:\filename.iso status="progress" conv="fsync"<<<

TIP-1: use notepad to copy paste this code and amend it to your needs. And only then copy paste it into the command-line.

TIP-2: using the command-line gives you cool pepe bonus.
TIP-3: Move without worries. If you fuck it up, no harm will come to you. You simply start again.

8. Once done, restart your PC, laptop.
9. F2 will bring you into bios, change boot order. OR, F12 allows you to choose bootorder. Boot from USB.
10. enjoy livecd. You will have to enter passwords and other stuff to make full use. Remember usually there is no persistence, meaning all change to the system are lost on reboot.
11. If you wish to use persistence: make sure your USB is at least 16G big, and use MXlinux live cd, as persistence is pack and parcel of it, and you can set it up on first boot in the advanced settings.

TIP: Consider using: Mullvad VPN/ Mullvad Browser, Front-ends for several websites. find them over at github, search for front-end
