So.. my school gifted me a laptop, an HP ProBook laptop, but it appears that this laptop is Bios Locked, and is using HP Wolf security, I managed to reinstall windows with a little trick and now I have access to a fresh reinstalled windows 10. But now I really want to know how can I dualboot with a Linux distro without having access to the bios, and I also want to know how HP Security Wolf works and if he can be a threat for my installation of Linux.

I know that there are some kinds of "portable" bootloaders that can go through the Windows bootloader but I don't know if there are recent ones that allow me to bypass HP Security Wolf (if he is a threat).

I'm taking all the ideas, And also thank you for your future help if only..
