IIRC, both Authy and Snap can be challenging to run under Qubes, but I
don't remember what it takes. Think others have managed though. Try
searching this mailing list for "Authy"?

Try a USB drive instead, maybe.

Qubes will install itself the same way you booted the install media-
legacy in this case. PCs from 2016 have iffy UEFI support, so if you're
functioning under Legacy boot now I wouldn't change it. The boot times
on both seem roughly equivalent, so that shouldn't be a major reason to
switch.
