Live Environment

The instructions below will show you how to boot into the Fedora live environment on your USB stick.

Booting into the Live USB

After following the previous section to flash the ISO onto your USB stick, it is now time to install Fedora on your system.
Before rebooting, you might want to take note of some settings while you're still on Windows (i.e. Windows cursor speed).
Plug in your USB drive and restart your PC. Before it boots into Windows, it'll tell you what key to press to enter UEFI setup - usually it's Delete, Escape or one of the function keys (i.e. F2).
Once you're in the BIOS, make sure to have Secure Boot disabled and make sure to have CSM/BIOS mode disabled. These are usually under the menu labeled "Boot".
Now, look for an option labeled Boot Override or Boot Options, usually under the "Boot" or "Exit" menus. Under here, select the USB you just installed Fedora on to boot into it.
- If you can't find Boot Options then changing the Boot Order is an alternative. Under here, reorder the options to have the USB stick at the top. Now, select Exit & save changes, and wait for your system to reboot.
You will be greeted with a boot screen listing some boot options initially, just hit enter on the first option to boot into the live environment.

Now that you have the Live Environment running, you can test out Fedora running the KDE Plasma desktop environment.
Linux, given its versatility, doesn't require you to install the system on your physical hardware in order to test it, so whatever you do on here will not affect what you have already on your system. Feel free to mess around!
When you are done, you can proceed with the installation procedure.
