Please avoid wubi. Since several years It is no longer supported. – sudodus Jun 10 '18 at 05:04

You should try a look at Lubuntu it is for older pc. Since 18.04 Kubuntu does not support 32-bit anymore you should install Lubuntu instead of Kubuntu
EDIT: All Ubuntu flavours supports 32-bit but KDE Plasma 5 won't run smooth on your device because the hardware is too old.

1+1. **I agree about Lubuntu for this older PC.** But Kubuntu has released a 32-bit iso file. As a matter of fact, all Ubuntu *community flavours* are still providing and supporting 32-bit versions (of the current 18.04 LTS). You can find them via this link: [releases.ubuntu.com/](http://releases.ubuntu.com/). But Standard Ubuntu Desktop and Ubuntu Server are only released as 64-bit versions. – sudodus Jun 10 '18 at 05:02

Okay I didn't know that the flavours are still providing 32-bit images without Lubuntu. I will edit my answer – Emil Engler Jun 10 '18 at 15:11

The question is about 18.04 LTS and we have been talking about 18.04 LTS. Things will change with 'Cosmic' to be released as 18.10 in October. The [QA testing tracker](http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/390/builds) offers 32-bit iso files for Lubuntu and Xubuntu. We can expect that the other community flavours (including Kubuntu) will release only 64-bit iso files. In addition there will be a 32-bit `mini.iso` alias Netboot and a 32-bit Ubuntu Base. – sudodus Jun 10 '18 at 19:18
