Now here we can use balenaetcher to flash the tails OS image onto a usb stick that we plug in on our computer:

Now that the Tails OS image has been flashed onto the usb stick, you can simply reboot your computer, and then enter the boot menu to choose to boot onto the USB rather than onto your host OS. In this example i need to press ESC, but depending on your motherboard you may need to press F2, or F11, or another key.
Then after entering the boot options by pressing ESC, we press 1 to choose to boot onto the USB key, rather than booting on the system drive.
