it's pretty hard to say :D My hunch is that it's something related to BIOS/UEFI. When you burn an image in rufus there are several options (partition scheme, target system...). If you computers are older, they may support BIOS only and not UEFI. Anyway, it's probably goign to take a lot of trial and error to figure out, good luck!

I agree, Ubuntu linux is the distro to use. If you just want to try it, you can boot into a live Linux session straight off the boot media.
If you decide you wish to install it, you will also need spare space on the hard drive that is not part of a partition. You can use a tool such as Partition Wizard to shrink the Windows partition and create empty space for Ububtu to install. Because I had a spare, I actually installed Linux on a separate hard drive. I can then use the BIOS boot selection when I want to boot Linux. Windows will not mount the Linux drive partitions without extra software, but Linux can access the Windows drive.

Admittedly I have been using various Linux versions for years. The initial learning curve is steep, but you reach a point where it all seems very logical. I also still look up solutions on internet from time to time when asked to make some new changes on the servers.
