Hello and welcome to Ubuntu GNOME Mailing List :)
I'm so glad that you joined and took my advice to send to the list rather
than post on Google+ ;)

Let's go one by one :)

Because I don't have such machine (I'm a huge fan of old machines
actually), all what I can offer regarding this is:

So, are you saying with Legacy Mode, everything seems okay?


Once started (so in Legacy mode), if I double click on "Install Ubuntu

Try Ubuntu GNOME without installation > Install Ubuntu GNOME from the Live

It is a known bug that we hopefully can fix - problem is, the developers
can't re-produce it while others can!


Another issue: I started directly to "Install Ubuntu Gnome". The GUI starts

This is so confusing!
Can you please, re-explain?

Are you saying everything will be fine when:
Boot from your Live Media > Choose "Install Ubuntu GNOME" from the Menu >
carry on with the installation?


As the SSD is UEFI, Ubuntu doesn't detect Windows, I guess this is normal,
