Creating bootable USB from a compromised OS. Is it safe?

If we buy for instance a laptop with an OS pre-installed e.g. Ubuntu and but the original seller was not reputable and there are doubts with the preinstall.
My question is: if we use the laptop to download Ubuntu and create a USB bootable iso to wipe out and re-install the OS, is this process safe if we assume the installed OS we currently use for this process is compromised?
