Yes it will. I have it running on my 12-year-old Dell laptop which is maxed out on 4GB RAM and it works nicely.

I strongly suggest replacement of the disk with an SSD, though. It decreases startup time to a few seconds and everything goes faster. If you do this, add noatime,discard options to your fstab mount. Plenty of resources out there for migration to SSD but a new install is amazingly easy.

Keep the system monitor open and with 4GB it will need swap space.
