The steps I usually use are:

1) Download the iso image for Ubuntu
2) Make a bootable USB drive
3) Wipe Windows with Ubuntu
4) Proceed from there

@jonrandy +1 if that's sarcasm but you could lessen effort even further by not installing Windows at all

I didn't. Damn near impossible to get a machine with Ubuntu pre-installed here in Thailand

Hard luck there! It can be skipped if an assembled PC is available but a laptop will surely come with Windows pre-installed so now I know why step 3 is needed.
