In the last few days i received an old laptop. I thought about installing Linux on it, just to see how stuff is going on there. But when i install everything, it goes straight to my usb stick, and not my hdd. It erases my old os(which i wanted it to do), but it also only boots to it when i boot from USB. How can i make it save everything on my laptop hdd?
I can't install Linux directly on my hdd?
