If it were mine I would:

1. Create an Ubuntu or Mint Live USB

2. Attempt to boot from that USB

3. If you are able to, you know that your computer is capable of booting from a USB drive so the USB setup you’re using now is either set up incorrectly or the program is a dud. If you are not able to, you know that you either messed up creating the Ubuntu or Linux Live USB or your computer is not capable of booting from USB.

4. If you are unable to boot from the live USB, I would try to figure out if there are any Linux distributions that allow the creation of a Live CD. If there are (there used to be) I would use that to explore the files on your computer.

5. After verifying that there is nothing on the computer that needs to be backed up, I would then install Linux on it and run it with Linux.

These steps will cost you nothing other than time.
