While the minimal iso image is handy, it isn't useful for installing on UEFI-based systems that you want to run in UEFI mode. It is possible to make an Ubuntu Minimal USB on either Ubuntu or Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 in Windows 10 using dd.
The Ubuntu Minimal CD is less than 60MB in size, and loads the rest of the packages required to install Ubuntu during the installation process. The Ubuntu live USB that you made with the 1.5GB Ubuntu iso is not loading successfully, so try booting your laptop with the Ubuntu Minimal CD. Basically I have to turn off the laptop by pressing the power button. If I press Esc then it displays 'press Esc to pause' and if press Esc nothing happens. It gets a hangup at boot, it displays 'press Esc to see startup option' and nothing happens.
