Rufus<\/a> to create a bootable image.<\/p>\n![\"create](\"https:\/\/jdhitsolutions.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/rufus-fedora.png\")
<\/p>\n
With this in hand, I used the boot menu button on the side of the Yoga 900 to select the USB device. This kicks off Fedora Live which has partan option to install to your hard drive.<\/p>\n
The graphical setup is easy enough and I was happy to accept default settings. However, when it came to partitioning I hit my first snag. There was not enough space available. Fortunately, I had a 25GB D: drive that was intended for my data when using Windows. This partition was expendable so I deleted it. Once gone, the automatic partitioning process continued. The remaining setup went pretty quickly. When finished I rebooted and pulled the USB stick.<\/p>\n
Initial Configuration<\/h2>\n
Upon reboot, I was happy to see a boot menu that included an option to back into Windows. But I let Fedora continue booting into its initial configuration stage. I configured privacy settings, connected a few online accounts like my Google account. Finally, I created my user account and password.<\/p>\n
It is not hard at all to navigate the Fedora GUI. I went to the software application and checked for updates of which there were a few. They were easy enough to download, after which I rebooted.<\/p>\n
Next, I need to configure Fedora with the apps and tools I need to get my work done. I'll go into that next time.<\/p>\n

I have been an IT Pro for almost 30 years. For the most part that has meant working in a Microsoft Windows environment. I remember dabbling with Linux when it first hit the scene. I found it intriguing but never had a need to really learn and use it. Over the years, I've continued to periodically dip my toe in the Linux waters and like many people got pretty good at googling how to do something and copying and pasting code. But I never felt truly comfortable as I did in Windows. Sure, some of you may feel Windows has its faults and limitations, but at least I knew them. Which brings me to 2020.<\/p>\n
