Hi Han,

You can move the hard disk drive to another computer and install Lubuntu 
in that computer. Avoid proprietary drivers.

For example, you can install from a tarball or from a compressed image 
file according to the following link:

If you prefer to do it from an official Lubuntu iso file, and you have 
Intel graphics, I suggest that you install this program package before 
you move the drive back to the target laptop:

sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-intel

Good luck :-)
