Just use rufus to image a Linux ISO to a USB stick, boot from the USB stick and install as normal. You might want to adjust the swap file partition though (or not use one at all). If you plan on running just Kodi, then 2GB is more than enough, even without a swap file. My HP, shows 3570MB free out of 4GB while streaming 1080p. Obviously I don't use a swap file and rather use that space for Kodi/extra storage.
