The short answer is yes. The long answer is yes, and we will find how to make your practice work for you. If you are practicing right, you will enjoy practice.
Most students begin learning music with 15-20 minutes of practice 3-5 times per week. How much time you should spend per week depends on your level and goals. oes here

You don’t need a traditional piano, though it is certainly nice to have one. At a minimum a keyboard with 64+ keys that are touch sensitive and a pedal will get you started in learning the instrument.
