Thanks for clearing that up WytWun. I simply don't have the expertise (or patience! :-[ ) to install LL on a UEFI only system.
I guess the only way to determine if my machine will boot off an SD card is to buy one and have a go. I'm mindful of what you said about choosing reputable manufacturers etc.
As for Xubuntu, you're right; it's not as good as LL - I would have to do a lot of fiddling around to make it appear how I'd like it to be. I have used Linux Mint before and there have been good reviews concerning Ubuntu Mate 18.04, but I'll need to find out if both have UEFI support. That message I got when trying to install Xubuntu to my eMMC drive tells me it may be possible to do so because it appears (and I say that loosely) I may not have to create a swap partition.
Thank you for the time and effort you have provided - I'll still keep posting until resolved.
