Use any of these 2 tools:
*www.linuxliveusb.com/en/help/guide
*www.easy2boot.com/download/

Download ubuntu ubuntu-18.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso from here using torrent.
*mirrors.piconets.webwerks.in/ubuntu-mirror/ubuntu-releases/18.04/

Use any of the above 2 tools to make a bootable ubuntu usb drive which on boot will give you the option to either install ubuntu or test ubuntu by running as live linux.

Basically desktop version/regular windows version is for typical users & server version is for those who wants to run a server. You need desktop version not server version.

Knoppix? The first time digit started giving DVDs, they had a Knoppix ISO on it.

Hell, it's my first Linux distro ever.

You need rescue disk to that, such as Hiren's Boot CD, Ultimate Boot CD, which has a dozen of recovery tools to help you out.

*www.ultimatebootcd.com/
*www.hirensbootcd.org/

After that, you should burn the ISO to USB with tools like Rufus, UUByte ISO Editor or UNetbootin, to make the USB bootable.
