Help! I am trying to find a Linux OS that will work for my HP Pavilion G7 1310us Laptop. I have Windows 10 and need to switch since I can't upgrade to Windows 11.
Solved! Go to Solution.

I'm sorry, but HP does not provide support for Linux distros -- including boot and installation issues.
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.
If you are interested in using Ubuntu, go here: https://ubuntuforums.org/
Good Luck

Then simple answer to your question is -- NO -- that date only means that MS will stop supplying updates for Windows 10. They won't stop you from using it, and if you are using good third-party AV products, they will continue to update themselves and you will still be protected against malware.
MS stopped supporting Win7 a LONG time ago and many folks are still using it without issues.

You can use the boot option "acpi=off" for the install process.
After that you can use the option "noapic" instead.
For that hit "e" in the grub- bootloader, go to the line linux=" ... " and replace the quiet splash and splasht with acpi=off hit F10.
Have a nice day,
unfortunately this give you reduced performance, because the crappy design of HP. But you can boot and use Linux
