I have a notebook from HP: its code is 15-ac089nl (Intel Core i5-5200U With GPU0 Intel HD 5500 2,2 GHz, GPU1 AMD Radeon R5 M330 2GB dedicated memory DDR3). You can see full specs in HP web site.

Does anyone know if it's compatible with Ubuntu 16.04.3?

I would like to format the hard disk, but since the Windows 10 license key is in Uefi it would be very hard to eventually come back...

Thanks in advance!

Running a live cd would give you a good idea if your hardware is compatible. This applies to GPUs as well at least for the open source drivers. If you want to test the closed source ones things get more tricky and you'd probably need to install.

However if you wanted to come back to Windows 10 as long as you're currently activated you're either active on SLP (which is embeded in the UEFI) or it uses your mobo serial number and Windows will activate again on the same machine.
