toniobacasno The first thing you need to do is know how to set-up your BIOS to boot from your CD or USB. Commonly, for generic desktops, you press the DEL button to access the BIOS. If not, you can try F2 or F10. After you're inside the BIOS, you need to change the boot...

toniobacasno For me, I suggest you just buy a laptop. Nowadays, the price of an Intel i7 laptop is almost the same as that of an Intel i7 desktop. The only reason today for buying a desktop is that, you can upgrade most of its hardware, unlike a laptop.
