Why choose a prepared Ubuntu bootable USB?
Ubuntu is free to download, but creating reliable installation media still needs a suitable computer, a large download and the correct USB-writing steps.
A ready-made drive is a straightforward option when you need installation media posted to you, your current computer will not start, your broadband is slow or you prefer not to build the USB yourself.
The £9.99 price covers the new 16GB flash drive, preparation, boot testing, labelling, instructions, packing and standard UK delivery. No operating-system licence fee is charged.

Common questions
View all FAQsKnow exactly what you are buying.
Will this USB install Ubuntu automatically?
No. It starts the official Ubuntu live environment and installer. You choose whether to try Ubuntu or begin installation, and you remain in control of all disk changes.
Does it save my work when I run from the USB?
No. This standard installer/live USB is not sold as a persistent portable system. Work created during a live session may be lost after shutdown unless saved to another drive.
Is there a product key or activation fee?
No. Ubuntu is open-source software and does not require a Windows-style product key. The charge covers the USB hardware and preparation service.
