I want to install Ubuntu 23.04 on an old laptop, I tried it on the laptop with the USB drive and it worked. Does that necessarily mean that it will also work when installed on the computer?

  • Probably - but make sure you check all the features that you’ll need are working - eg wifi, touchpad, Bluetooth etc. – Will May 18 '23 at 21:35
  • Yes - you might have problems with hibernation (which you can't check with USB), but the live version uses your hardware - so you are ready to go. – kanehekili May 18 '23 at 22:11
  • With a computer less than fifteen years old, you can think of a USB as just another hard drive. – C.S.Cameron May 19 '23 at 08:16

Yes, basically it should work. That's the purpose of booting a live session from USB - to check if Ubuntu works with your computer. If live session works, then most probably installed system will work as well.
