FTR (For The Record): Most, but not every Windows 10 PC or Laptop will run Linux. Especially in consumer oriented models you will often see weird parts that are not supported by Linux. Certain WiFi cards, touchpads and many more components can be problematic. With business level machines you are often more lucky. These machines often are certified with certain Linux distros (Ubuntu, Red Hat and more).

So always try, but be prepared it might not always JustWorkâ„¢

I've had pretty good luck with a few of these types of machines. When they are encountered, they're often obstacles not complete roadblocks.

Incompatible firmware on the other hand? You're dead on arrival. :(
