Bootable USB of Ubuntu Minimal CD

I want to install Ubuntu 18.04 alongside Win 10 on my Acer Aspire 715.
Nothing I've tried works, none of the articles on the web have the same issue.
Either the machine refuses to boot from the stick, and on the 2 occasions that it did boot from USB the screen froze after selecting English as installation language.
Has anybody had success with this?
Thanks!
Added after first responses:
What have I tried?
- It's about an Acer Aspire 715, i5 processor. 8GB RAM. Downloaded the
18.04 iso file, burned it onto a 4GB USB stick. Tried it on another laptop and it boots Ok from this stick. After all the issues burned a
2nd USB stick with same results.
Disabled quick start for Win10 from the control panel. Turned
laptop off, inserted USB stick, pressed Fn+F2 on new boot. I land
on the setup page from the laptop. Only way to boot from USB is with
Secure Boot enabled.
I selected to boot from the USB stick, but the machine kept booting
into Win10. After lots of reading, I tried placing the USB on the
right side and now I can consistently boot from USB. So I booked some
progress!
In the Grub loader I select "Install Ubuntu", get to the graphical
install wizard. Select English as language and machine freezes up.
The mouse moves but nothing else happens. Tried a few times, always
the same result.
In Grub I selected "Try Ubuntu", the desktop appears, I select
"Install Ubuntu 18.04.01", machine freezes up. Tried again, same
result.
Booted into "Try Ubuntu" again, desktop appears. So I tried different
boot ups to connect to WiFi, or click on the time to see the
calendar, or change the screen brightness but the machine freezes up
again.
Booted from USB again, selected "Check disk" and the test runs OK.
I would suspect a memory issue, but not with 8GB RAM installed.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Your system has nVidia? You normally need nomodeset boot parameter to install & first boot or until you install nVidia driver from Ubuntu repository. You also will need to set "trust" on grub/ubuntu UEFI boot files after install. askubuntu.com/questions/1026179/how-to-install-a-gtx-1060 & askubuntu.com/questions/162075/… & Acer Aspire E15 will not dual boot, many details Trust settings in step 35 askubuntu.com/questions/627416/…
