Unable to install Ubuntu 20.04 on system with Windows 10

I've recently purchased a Dell Vostro 3500 with Windows 10 pre-installed. It is a UEFI system. I don't want to keep Windows 10 and I want to replace it with Ubuntu 20.04. I followed the regular method as follows:

Created a live USB for Ubuntu

Changed boot order in BIOS to boot it from the live USB (a note: for some reason it showed two different options in BIOS; both are my live USB)

Let the disk check happen to ensure there were no errors

Then the installation process started. At the "Updates and Software" stage, it simply said that Ubuntu requires 8.6 GB of space while my system has only 8.1. It gave no options to continue forward to the point where it gives installation options (installing alongside Windows, erasing it, or something else).

What do I do here? Almost all tutorials online say that this is how it is supposed to be done and I can't find any other instances of someone facing this problem.

Have found a solution to this. Ubuntu 20.04 does not support 11th generation processors. The problem goes away if you try with 21.04. I'm assuming it's a kernel issue so even 20.04.3 should work when it comes out, in case anyone wants only LTS versions.
