It should work. Ubuntu however, needs a lot of resources (compared to other Linux distros). To install Ubuntu, you need an empty USB stick.

1.: Download the Ubuntu ISO (see here https://Ubuntu.com/download/desktop)
2.: Download & install balena etcher (see: https://etcher.balena.io).
3.: Flash the Ubuntu ISO on your USB-Stick using Etcher.

I recommend doing that on your faster machine.

If you have done that, everything is ready for the installation. Tell me when you are ready!
