Since I don't know the level of experience you (or the person reading this question) have, I'm going to do a very detailed tutorial so it is clear enough almost for everyone.

Even if it works on the desktop, I would check the MD5 checksum from the elementary.io site after downloading the ISO and then re-create the USB (Balena Etcher should do the trick if you're creating from Windows or Linux).

Based on my experience doing the same with Ubuntu16.04 and Loki - If you keep the home partition it will be better to use the same username and password during installation - the password later can be changed safely but the username has to be kept.

You should see something like:
