Product: Elitebook 850 G4
Operating System: Linux

Hello,

 

I have an elitebook 850 G4, i have installed windows 10 on it. now i want to install CentOs in order to make it a dual boot. i am having a hard time in doing so... i have a 1TB NVME SSD where i used 500GB for windows C drive and left the other half unallocated. each time i try to install centos i get a message that it cannot be installed on GPT disks although i have a 500 gb free unallocated space... do you think it is feasible to install centos on the remaining part of unallocated disk space and configure it as a dual boot, or should i have another drive in order to install centos?

Hi

CentOS-7 (x86_64) can install on secureboot or 'UEFI w/secureboot off', or legacy.

So you can try something  like SUSE, which can use secure boot, Ubuntu maybe, even Fedora.
