Product: notebook 250 g7
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

I just bought a notebook hp 250 g7 with win 10 installed on a single 1tb HDD. I usually use linux and I'd like to install mint 20 alongside windows 10, but I cannot because of the setting with the system intel rst that doesn't allow linux mint to proceed with the installation. It requests to inactivate that but I'm not able to find any option in the BIOS.

How can I install Linux?

@M4GL14 

I'm sorry, but HP only warranties their PCs for usage with the OS that comes preinstalled.

IF you replace that 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.

Your best bet for support with issues with Linux is to contact the support forum of the distro you are using.

Good Luck
