Oh well I can't get it to open, it is very frustrating and I know it's my fault. I'm about to google Linux installation tutorial and see what happens. Thank you for helping me.
What you have there is an ISO file. You do not need to open it. What you need is a program like UNetbootin that can take that ISO and put its contents on the USB for you, then the computer can boot off that USB drive.
I know it can be daunting at first, but I hope that doesn't turn you off of Linux. All I can say is that for many people it is worth the effort, and actually the learning process is part of the reward.

1.Insert the SD card into your SD card reader and check what drive letter it was assigned. You can easily see the drive letter (for example G:) by looking in the left column of Windows Explorer.
2.Download the Win32 Disk Imager utility (it is also a zip file). You can run this from a USB drive.
3.Extract the executable from the zip file and run the Win32DiskImager utility; you may need to run the utility as Administrator! Right-click on the file, and select 'Run as Administrator'
4.Select the image file you extracted above
5.Select the drive letter of the SD card in the device box. Be careful to select the correct drive; if you get the wrong one you can destroy your data on the computer's hard disk!
6.Click Write and wait for the write to complete.
That should get the Linux Distro written and ready to the SD card.
