if you downloaded ubuntu 16 then install just as you installed ubuntu 14 (remember to remove ubuntu 14 during setup process)
It's a iso file you'll need to burn iso to disk or in pendrive (use this tool (if running this tool in ubuntu use wine
))
But first you should try to fix windows then remove ubuntu 14.04 completely and then install ubuntu 16.04 properly

I have Ubuntu 14 on CD and it seems to be a genuine one with Ubuntu written on it and WIN Vista on Pen Drive.

Should I now create a new USB drive with Ubuntu 16 on it ?

Is it not possible to install Ubuntu 16 directly from the downloaded Ubuntu 16 file ?
