My computer is a OMEN Laptop - 15-ek0008la type Gamer.
Buy a disk SSD NVME 250 GB and added this without trouble to my laptop.
In that new SSD install the last version of Linux Mint.
Make the boot Usb with RUFUS and GPT partition for UEFI.
The Secure Boot option disabled in the UEFI, but not can do it boot for the new disk, each time that begin, boot for Os Windows.
Try start manually for OS mint in EFI System partition and shows me "no valid file system available".
Can I dual-boot both systems? OS Windows and Os Mint in this laptop. The main disk is a Intel Optane.
how do i do it?
Thank you

I'm sorry, but HP does not provide support for Linux distros.
IF you replace the preloaded Windows OS with a Linux distro, or add a Linux distro, then you assume full responsibility for maintaining that -- including solving any problems with booting the other OS and/or installing the other OS.
Modern PCs with UEFI, instead of the older BIOS, are especially difficult to install because you have to go into the UEFI settings and make several changes before you can even boot from a USB stick -- and we are unable to assist in that work.
Your best bet for support now is to contact the support forum of the distro you are using.
