You're looking to repurpose your old PC for data sharing, but Ubuntu 16.04 isn't working. Consider checking the hardware compatibility or trying a different distribution. If needed, explore alternatives like Linux Mint or lightweight versions that suit older systems.

What specifications? Storage settings are straightforward. You can conveniently share a directory on Windows. The Ubuntu installation encountered an error—specifically, it was version 18.04.
