Question:

If I get a new PC (which probably comes with Windows 10 or 11) can I then
replace the drive and install Ubuntu on the brand new empty drive?

Or:

Boot from USB (Ventoy) into a standalone GParted and delete the existing
partitions and then create a system and a home partition on the drive.

Then:

Boot from USB into the Ubuntu install ISO and put Ubuntu onto the disk as the
single system?

I will have to get a new server running in a not too distant future and want to
know how to nuke Windows and get a clean Linux system.

Or is that impossible nowadays, for example because f/w cannot be updated from
Ubuntu or similar?

If so how can one go about it to get a working system *without* Windows?
