you can either extract the files to your desktop then run setup directly from your desktop OR better still create a bootable usb using "rufus" @ https://rufus.ie then install using the usb ; refer to https://www.hovatek.com/blog/how-to-inst...em-cd-dvd/

When the PC boots up press F10 or your quick boot selection key then select USB bootable drive.
If you dont disable UEFI in your BIOS the RUFUS created USB bootable drive wont work.
