    You should give more info about your computer/laptop. What are the hardware specs, like RAM, CPU, Graphics, Brand, model etc.

    If your laptop is so old that it isn't even running Windows 95, there is not going to be any supported version of Ubuntu that will run on it because its specs will be so low.
    Ubuntu 20.04, Mint 19.10; MS Win10 Pro.
    Will not respond to PM requests for support -- use the forums.

    He could probably install the server edition and run in text-mode. Use nano for editing, alpine for email, and elinks for browsing.
    If you ask for help, do not abandon your request. Please have the courtesy to check for responses and thank the people who helped you.

    Ubuntu does not install through wireless and the machine's BIOS might not allow booting from USB port or even a CD drive.
    It is a machine. It is more stupid than we are. It will not stop us from doing stupid things.

    Some laptops that are sold without any preinstalled OS, in the specs list OS = DOS. Probaby OP is means that. I am only guessing here, OP has to clarify... and its probably a Netbook.
