How do I install ubuntu downloaded from an openSUSE 13.2 machine on a machine w/no OS installed?

- I downloaded 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 Desktop version (don't remember being asked what processor I expected to use) on a Thinkpad X61 running openSUSE 13.1.
2 Transferred the 18.04.01 ISO to an empty USB 3.0 stick.
3.On the stick, extracted all files from the ISO - Mounted the stick on the Thinkpad T340 where it will live. The T340 has a blank SSD 240 Gb drive mounted. (Incidently the T340 has an Intel i7-3520M CPU.)
- Did a cold boot with the stick mounted and pressed F12 to get a boot menu.
BIOS recognized the SSD as "ATA HDD0: SanDisk SDSSDA240G".
CORRECTION - 2018-11-29:There was an error in my original post in 6. I tried booting from the stick, not the SSD drive.
- Selected that boot option. Boot manager just returned the BM screen.
- I returned to the Ubuntu site and found I needed to make my stick bootable.
- I find three tutorials --for an earlier version of Ubuntu, from Windows and from macOS - none of which I have. I need to make the stick bootable using the X61 but for booting on the T340. I think that all of the tutorials assume that 18.01 will be replacing the existing OS or running parallel to it on the downloading machine.
After booting from the stick on the T340, I want to install Ubuntu on that machine, using the stick as backup.
What do I do next? And sorry if I didn't find publish instructions for what I am trying to do
Thanks

I'd suggest looking at help.ubuntu.com/community/Install ation help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto & tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-burn-a-dvd-on-ubuntu You didn't say how you transferred it to the thumb-drive, but acpwould leave the ISO as a file, and the thumb-drive needs to be bootable (I useddmyself). Just a FYI: opensuse 13 is EOL (Jan 2017), and opensuse is the same as if writing the ISO using ubuntu.

If your computer is UEFI you should only need to extract the Ubuntu ISO to the stick for it to be bootable.

If you want a safer tool, you can use mkusb, which can [at least] clone from an iso file to a USB pendrive in opensuse 13.2. This means that you can create a live drive (but there will probably be problems to create a persistent live drive).

Just to add a bit to C.S.Cameron's comment. Flash drive must be FAT32 with boot flag. And then it will only be UEFI bootable. askubuntu.com/questions/395879/…
