If it does indeed look like it is stuck, no harm will be done if we abort this and start it again. Holding down you power button for 10 seconds will perform a hard shut off. Then just repeat again the same steps.
Okay. Good to know about the Hard Shutoff deal.
Thanks.
shouk i download updates while installing?
As long as you have connected to your WiFi successfully, its a good time saver to do this.
i didn’t go thru that, so will update later, methinks.
What about 3rd party…??
I would enable that just so Ubuntu can find better drivers if possible
Okay…here goes…
I appreciate your time!
SUCCESS!! I am so excited to begin this journey.
I bought a System76 for myself while practicing with the live Ubuntu USB, but now, with your amazing, efficient answers to all my questions, made a bootable disk and replace Windows with Ubuntu!
I was very nervous so THANK you for sticking by my side. I am so grateful, Michael! 
Great job

Judy,
Thank you for the kind words and I’m very happy to have helped you solve your problem.
I also love the products by the team at System76 and as soon as I get tired of my 10 year old desktop, I will be picking up a 76 for myself. Pop OS is one of my favorite distros and miss their unique auto tiling feature when I’m using anything else.
Good luck and happy new year!
Michael
