Enter BIOS SETUP, and enable "legacy" mode, instead of "UEFI" mode.

That should let you boot from "non-UEFI" media, such as media containing Linux.

Thank you for the answer. BUT, can't get into bios. F10 does nothing. Hold shift & gives me set up utilities. Go to legacy & says I have to disable secure boot before I can enable legacy.  Thanks.

I disabled secure boot & enable legacy. The installation of linux said, complete. Reboot & goes directly into windows. My opinon it's the preinstalled OS.  HP should correct it. If I new this ahead of time I wouldn't have bought this HP computer. I hope you have more idears, thanks.

Outside of my realm but found this:

https://forums.kali.org/showthread.php?34081-Dual-boot-Windows-10-amp-Kali-Linux-2016-2-UEFI

 

suggests that the "Grub" boot-manager should be used to boot Linux.

 

Good luck!

Have a linux disk. Says, won't let me install linux.  See system adminstrator. Would like HP to correct this problem with the pre-installed sofeware. Thank you.

Please give us a little more information to work with.

 

What is the exact wording of the error-message?

 

Does it occur when your computer starts to read from media in the optical disk-drive? Or, later?

Which version of Linux?

Which release of that version?

 

Is Windows running when you insert the Linux media?
