Ubuntu Question

I have an old HP laptop running Vista Business. Actually, it's not running it because it's unusable. "Slow" doesn't begin to describe it! I was going to format the hard drive, but I can buy a new one for $28, so it's on order now.

I've downloaded Ubunto 16.10 and I plan to load it on the laptop as soon as the new hard drive arrives. I'm only going to use it only for Skype interviews for podcasts (Skype has a Linux version available) and occasionally for Google Voice/phone interviews. Are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of before tying to load Ubuntu?

Thanks,
Chas.
