I was new to Linux when I read the Linux Lite Help Manual, and as I've documented elsewhere in this forum, it was one of the things that made the distro appealing to me. I've only been computing (with PCs that could actually connect to the Internet) since the mid 1990s.
The Help Manual mentions using Win32DiskImager to create a bootable USB, if you're currently using MS Windows. Here is a one minute video on how to use that product:

The manual recommends using the dd command in a terminal if you're coming from another Linux distro or from a MacIntosh computer. Here's a video on how to use that command:

If neither of these methods is appealing, you can consider Etcher at https://etcher.io. It is available for all platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux.

In Matthew Moore's video, he unmounts the USB drive before running the dd command. Is that detail something that should be added to the Help Manual?
