I wanted to use dual boot in my laptop for work purpose. For the dual boot, I have selected kali linux alongside my windows 11 home edition which is given by hp. But I have concern one thing which is my laptop's driver compatible for that? or if it is compatible, after dual booting there is any possibilities to arise other problem for dual boot?

Please my humble request answer my question and suggest me what can I do? or which is better for my laptop? I know I can use virtual box instead of dual boot but it's necessary to dual boot. If there is any issues arise with dual boot for my laptop, I won't use that. I definitely use virtual box.

Hi,

HP doesn't provide linux support unless the computer is purchased with a linux based OS. You are on your own but I had been using dual boot on HP computers for more than a decade and half without any serious issues. However, Kali is not exactly the most popular linux distro which means a possible compatibility issues. If the LIVE CD/USB system works then it should be alright to use it.
