so I’ve had problems getting linux to actually setup properly but the functional preview on the boot USB stick itself works without issue, so can I just run it that way, or is that going to limit functionality in some way?

Well, there’s this which was the first result in a search for me. I would also make sure that you’ve allocated at least 500mb to a uefi boot partition, depending on what you meant by “old”. I have found that sometimes there’s a “secure boot” bootloader and one that just has the distro, but it doesn’t mean the one you expect it to be will work. When you boot up at first I would mash the boot options key and see what shows up, if there’s multiple options try them one by one. I suspect there’s a boot setting in your BIOS that’s not letting it boot properly.
