I was thinking of installing an os called zorin on my laptop. Another user on here recommended it . Its an acer aspire from 2009 it currently has windows vista. I'd love to give it a try but first would like to know if my vista drivers will work with it or what drivers if any I would need.

Thank you

Sorry and yes... the drivers in Zoin are Linux drivers ... they come as part of the install so you don't need to install any windows drivers... my bad mate.

I downloaded Clonezilla for linux from Clonezilla for Linux

After downloading I clicked on clonezilla it went to a bunch of different files. I clicked on one called setup it then went to files something called gparted and ocs

What do I actually click on to get the program installed?

Thank you
