Product: HP Pavilion x360 - 15-cr0037wm
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have one of these (HP Pavilion X360 15.6) but I installed a 1 TByte NVME drive as the main boot drive. Looking back at my notes I found the following:

 

Regardless of what I do, I can not get the HP Laptop to install a Linux OS to the NVME drive. The embedded Intel Optane software in the BIOS effectively blocks access to the drive via the standard Linux NVME PCIe drivers. Thus one is limited to only running only a Microsoft Operating System on this laptop with a NVME drive. This smells very much like a conspiracy between Intel, Microsoft and HP.

 

I do not know if this helps. I do not use this machine much anymore but was thinking of re-purposing it as a "thin client". Note: I have the F.26 bios (current version is F.30) and the HP update software fails .... under Windows 10. With Micro.shaft ending support for Win.doze 10, I may have to revisit this problem as well.
