Even on my notebook, in the boot phase I have some errors, obviously different from those on the pc-desktop
https://pastebin.com/dR4vpUEm
It seems that one of the errors is related to the sd card reader or something, actually because I do not use it, i did not have to check if it actually works or not, usb ports still work and for the rest not known Obvious problems in everyday use!It looks like this:

My notebook is a DELL Latitude 3340, in my version it comes with Windows 7 professional, but it is actually sold the same model also with Ubuntu, so it should be linux compatible 100%, the disk is MBR even if uefi is in mode Legacy and Secure Boot disabled by default
