    Compatibility With Laptops (Lenovo Legion Y520 80WK)

    what hapens when you switch off the laptop, put the USB in then switch on whilst tickling the short boot key [Lenovo that's either F8,F10 or F12] I would start with F12 as that is the most common,? what you should get is a short boot menu showing your HDD tour USB pen-drive and any other storage...

    I think im getting hacked

    If the laptop is newer than 2010 then in most cases a BIOS purge can be achieved by boot up machine [if already booted then save any work.files/folders] then press and hold the power button down for 60 seconds, release and switch on again

    Best Linux Distro for Writing Machine

    Welcome as far as i see it you have 2 options, 1] if you feel Linux competent, then start with the Kernel and build your own be-spoke distribution just for publishing. 2]start with a full-blown distribution and hack out the apps you do not need and install any you do. Hopefully it is post 2010...

    Changed my mind

    if its the one i am thinking of it has a 4th gen quad-core I series CPU, which makes it very similar to my HP, I invested in a PCIE to NVMe adaptor card and installed an NVMe main drive, it made a hell of a difference to my speed.
