The USB boot is actually just straight-up a part of the install process. You first boot from the USB, then click on the desktop icon that launches the installer. Of course, you can always just ignore that icon and play around on the USB boot. Based on the questions you're asking here, you'll be totally fine. I don't know the majority of the words people are throwing around here, and I managed to install Linux Mint Cinnamon on a computer so old you're not actually supposed to be able to do it. I just did some searching and followed forum tutorials. As long as your computer is less than ~12 years old, it won't be any trouble at all.
