docs: Improve clarity and fix noun form in basic-installation.md (#308)

Browse Source 
This Pull Request includes several clarity and grammatical improvements to the `basic-installation.md` tutorial:

- Corrected the noun form of 'back up' to 'backup' in the "Perform a system backup" heading.
- Clarified the warning "lose everything" to "lose all data" for greater precision regarding data loss during partitioning.
- Rephrased "this is disabled to improve boot times" to "manufacturers disable this feature to improve boot times" for smoother reading and clearer attribution.

There should be an on-screen message when the computer starts telling you what key to press for settings or a boot menu. Depending on the manufacturer, this could be <kbd>Escape</kbd>, <kbd>F2</kbd>, <kbd>F10</kbd> or <kbd>F12</kbd>. Simply restart your computer and hold down this key until the boot menu appears, then select the drive with the Ubuntu install media.
