@Goodbar9,

 

This issue pops up once in a while, please take a look at this earlier Forum thread: Solved: Re: Linux Installation issue in HP Pavilion 15-ec0027ax Lapt... - HP Support Community - 765....

 

Also, @itsmyname suggested the following alternative, which was posted on 12-28-2021, and I quote:

 

"[A]nother option for you is to look at one of the "virtual machine" apps, such as "VMWARE".

 

First, you start Windows on your All-In-One. Then, run that V.M. app, to create an "empty" virtual computer.

Then, allocate some RAM and some disk-space to the virtual computer, and install Linux "inside" this V.M. as a "guest" operating system. The advantage is that Linux will use "generic" device-drivers, and Windows will interface between these device-drivers and your actual hardware."

 

Hope this is helpful.

 

Kind Regards,
