According to the system requirements to install Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, processor should be 2 GHz dual core processor, but my computer has 1.7 Ghz dual core processor.Can I install that even if it does not match the recommended system requirements or should I install some other version?

I am following this installation guide on ubuntu.com. I am new to Ubuntu installation, your help will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Yes. yes you can.

Ubuntu isn't that demanding of a system and especially not when compared to Windows, I.E. : any Windows release version is less ressource intensive then any ubuntu release version.

In the case of less ram and less graphic power such as say a 2-4GB RAM netbook with and intel atom and graphics ran off the atom I'd highly recommend another ubuntu flavour : say https://ubuntu-mate.org/download/

  • My system has 8GB RAM, so I hope there would not be much problem. May 12, 2017 at 8:10
  • you have my green flag ubuntu shoul purr on your machine. make sure you run of set of "first to-do's" once your ubuntu is up and running such as enabling "partners" in "software sources" and running updates and reboot before you install anything. is your processor 64bit?

should work those are recommended system requirements not min. system requirements, but cant say for how performance will be since its bellow what is recommend by Ubuntu. I would be more concerned if you didn't meet ram requirements then 300 mhz cpu speed.

Be sure to run the live version off a dvd or usb first before dedicating to a full install if its possible. If performance is satisfactory the full install will be better then the live cd experience.
