Hi @Boss211,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

If you're seeing a "No bootable device" error after installing Kali Linux on your HP laptop that originally had Windows 11, it usually means the system can't find a valid operating system to boot from. Support on Linux is limited; you can try the below steps.

1. Enter BIOS/UEFI Settings

  • Turn off your laptop.
  • Power it on and immediately press Esc repeatedly, then press F10 to enter BIOS Setup.
  • Go to the Boot Options tab.

2. Check Boot Mode

  • Make sure UEFI Boot Mode is enabled (unless you installed Kali in Legacy mode).
  • Disable Secure Boot (Kali Linux does not support Secure Boot by default).
  • Ensure the internal hard drive is listed in the boot order.

3. Use Kali Installer to Repair Bootloader:

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
