Hi I am trying to download Linux mint 21.3 on my laptop with my serial number being [Personal Information Removed], however in the live session of Linux mint when I boot it with a usb and click install half way through the process it won’t recognise my internal hard drive how do I fix this? Do I have to do something in the UEFI settings with storage?

Apart from a few Workstations that come with Linux distro preloaded, HP provides no support for Linux.
I mention this because with Windows, we can provide links to videos and HP Documents. We can provide links to HP diagnostic apps you can download and run on your PC. We can provide links to HP drivers and to HP BIOS updates, which you can also download and run on your PC. And, nearly everything useful can be done using an application or utility that HP will provide you for free.
For the general population of HP customers trying to use or install Linux, we have NONE of that. No diagnostics. No videos. No downloadable utilities or tools. And, once you get into Linux, you discover that you have to become VERY familiar with the command line to do anything complicated. We have no command line scripts or examples to provide you.
So when I recommend going to the support forum for your Linux distro, it is because THERE is where you will get the amount and kind of support you need.
