Can laptop not allow linux installation?

I used to use an old laptop with W7 and Kubuntu was standing next to it. I recently bought a new one, more powerful, with W10 preinstalled. I think the license - let it be, I'll put Kubuntu next to it. As a result, I created a bootable USB flash drive 10 times, if not more. I tried 2 different flash drives and 4 programs: UNetBootin, UltraISO, as well as both programs from the Pendrive-linux website. I tried the Kubuntu version from the off site - 16.04 and 16.04.1. In the end, the result is the same - I choose to install the distribution, the kubuntu logo starts flashing, then it stops flashing. And that's all. The terminal does not open, you have to turn it off manually. I'm formatting the flash drive in FAT32. Can a laptop be pre-programmed to not be able to install linux? If yes, how to deal with it?
Maybe it's worth setting something in the BIOS?
Thanks

Gentlemen, problem solved. It was not even UEFI/Legacy. The problem was in the classic nomodeset.

Still, the problem must be in UEFI. How do you boot from a flash drive? It is necessary in the BIOS to allow booting from usb devices (often this feature is disabled) and boot from the flash drive in UEFI mode: when you press the boot device selection key (for example, on ASUS it is F8), you need to select the line where the device name contains those very notorious letters (uefi).
Unsubscribe if possible, it became interesting to me.
