Installing Linux Lite 3.4 on a Toshiba running Windows 10

[JanetBiggar]

I can't seem to find previous posts that might answer my questions. I just had a Toshiba running Windows 10 donated to me for the youth I work with(i5; 4 GB RAM; HDD 581 GB) which I have restored to factory settings, updated Windows 10 and have played around with it minimally before trying LL 3.4. 

At this point I would ideally like to install LL 3.4 (then maybe upgrade it to 3.6 later), however when I tried running if from the bootable USB all seems to be fine other than when I try to pull up Firefox I get this message:

Problem loading page:

Server not found
Firefox canot find the server at the www.google.com

Is that something to do with the Windows 10 (I did make Google the home page on Windows 10...)?

My main objective was to make sure LL 3.4 ran fine before doing an install of LL over Win 10 (I do not wish to dual boot). 

Also I'm not sure if I need to do anything re: UEFI vs Legacy AND if so how I check and make the appropriate switch if needed before I install LL 3.4

In the past I have simply been use to clicking on the install LL 3.4 and all was fine...I'm hoping maybe I can do the same (although wanted to make sure Firefox WILL work), but didn't want to get myself into a bind without knowing if I need to do anything before doing the install LL.

Any suggestions as to what I need to do?
Thanks in advance,
Janet

Oops, I have answered my first question re: Firefox.  I had forgotten that I had not connected to the WiFi! 

So, Firefox is working.

So my ONLY question now is - since LL 3.4 appears to be running fine off of the USB stick does that mean I can go ahead and "install LL" without being concerned about UEFI and legacy?

Thanks,
Janet

Since you were able to try LL from the USB stick which means it booted accurately, I don't see why you shouldn't be able to install it.

Thanks Moltke, I thought that would be the case, but wished to make sure.

Loading Linux Lite 3.4 as we speak and all going well. Installed fine, just doing the updates, drivers and restore point step.

Thanks all.
