HP Recommended

Hi,


I am considering purchasing the HP Laptop PC 15t-fd000 (13th-gen Intel Core i5-1334U / Raptor Lake), which will ship with Windows 11 preinstalled.


I want to install Ubuntu LTS on this machine. Before I commit, I need to verify the BIOS capabilities. 

 

  1. Does this model support Legacy Boot mode, or is it UEFI-only?
  2. If UEFI-only, does Ubuntu LTS install cleanly with UEFI enabled and Secure Boot disabled?
  3. Has anyone successfully installed Ubuntu LTS (or any Linux distro) on this specific model?

Thanks in advance.
