Can the USB stick be created on my pc and then used to boot his?

Yes it can mate. Once you've downloaded the correct ISO and the USB tool it's really straightforward, especially following those tutorials.

Hi Layback Bear,

Sorry if there was some confusion. My friend knows nothing about computers so I have volunteered to do it for him. I also set it up for him when he first got it. I've moved it from his house to mine as I suspect it could be a lengthy process. After a career in IT I've now been retired for nearly 20 years so my technical knowledge of today's pcs is sketchy, however I can appreciate the risks posed when a professional hacker has had access. Your. and others, advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
