The current (and presumably all future) stable installation images will
install either in legacy mode or UEFI. Just transfer the image to the
stick (the whole stick, not a partition of it) and it should Just Work.
Transfer can be done in Linux by cat, dd, cp or presumably other
methods. There is also a Windows utility (win32diskimager) which will
copy images to USB sticks.

There are too many types of failure possible to give a quick guide.
Almost always, you will see some kind of error message about a failure.
But failure on common modern types of computer are not frequent, in my
experience. I have a modern netbook, no legacy BIOS option, UEFI only,
Windows 10 already installed. As long as I had enough drive space
free, there was no problem with copying to USB stick and installing,
with an option for the Win10 boot manager in the grub menu afterwards.
