I have old notebook with Intel® Pentium (R) Processor B940. Can I run the latest 64 bit Ubuntu on my machine? This is detail of my machine taken on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 32 Bit.

  • As Byte Commander stated, your processor is fine. Some cheaper machines (esp. notebooks) have a BIOS (or other hardware) that limits itself to 32bit, but if you can boot the 64bit 'live' install media as Byte suggested - you should be fine. – guiverc Jun 26 '18 at 08:54

Intel's Product Specification site for the B940 says:

Instruction set: 64-bit

So it should be possible to install any 64 bit operating system on the machine. Regarding general performance and other resource requirements, just get a live USB of the release you want to try and play around with it.

It should work with your processor.

You can simple try it using a live CD.
