You will have to burn ISO file on a CD-R, as a ISO image (and not a normal file). After you boot on CD, and choose option "Install".
If you want to be sure your hardware is well managed by Ubuntu, instead of install it directly, choose option "Try without install" and check your graphic card is well managed (it's the most usual issue) and also your WIFI (second most usual issue).
