Many have. It really depends on your devices, not what OS the computer
previously had.

Why not download a desktop-amd64 iso and try it. That is a livecd, if
it works, then your system should be fine switching over to Ubuntu.

Get the cd image here:

I am running an Athlon 64-bit processor in this system, but never
loaded windows on it.

Good luck,
