<p>Please don't use unetbootin for arch-based distributions! It's
not advisable.<br>
For Windows the recommended tool is rufus, if on Linux use the dd
command or a tool like isousb. :)</p>

<p dir="ltr">> A new portable computer was tested for
compatibility by installing manjaro into a virtual machine. The
operating system started successfully, including wireless
internet access between the m$ host and manjaro guest machines.<br>

as the operating system for the new computer?</p>
<p dir="ltr">In general, no. Since we do not know what you are
going to use the machine for, the only advice I can provide is
to ensure you can perform all the functions you need. Btw, this
is an awful question. </p>

the m$ system must be removed by installing manjaro via a usb
memory stick. Is this simply achieved by copying the manjaro iso
file to a (previously empty) usb memory stick?</p>
<p dir="ltr">No. You need something like unetbootin. <span

<p dir="ltr">> What would be the advice to create an iso image
of the m$ originally supplied with the computer, then remove it
and possibly use as a virtual image later in the future?</p>
<p dir="ltr">You seem to be using this list for somebody else to
do your research. Try google search. If you are genuinely new to
computers, this task is beyond your skill level. I'm not trying
to dissuade you, but if you don't know if it can be done, you
have not bothered to Google it or have just started to use
computers. Either way, virtualization maybe too complex for
you. <br>
