Hi @JHuff2,

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your laptop!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

Try these steps:

Download Bliss OS:

• Visit the official Bliss OS website and download the latest stable version.

Create a Bootable USB Drive:

• Use software like Rufus (available at rufus.ie) to create a bootable USB drive.
• Insert a USB drive into your laptop, open Rufus, select the Bliss OS ISO file you downloaded, and create a bootable drive.

Partition Your Hard Disk:

• Before installation, you’ll need to create a separate partition on your hard drive for Bliss OS.
• Search for "Disk Management" in Windows, open it, and shrink the volume of an existing partition to create unallocated space for Bliss OS.

Boot from the USB Drive:

• Restart your laptop and enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing F10, F12, Esc, or Del during startup).
• Change the boot order to prioritize USB boot and restart your laptop again.

Install Bliss OS:

• Once booted from the USB drive, follow the on-screen instructions to install Bliss OS.
• When asked, be sure to install Bliss OS on the new partition you created earlier.

Set Up Dual Boot:

• After installation, you may need to set up the bootloader to manage both Windows and Bliss OS.
• Tools like ‘GRUB’ can be used to configure the boot menu.

Reboot and Configure:

• Reboot your laptop and you should see a boot menu allowing you to choose between Windows 11 and Bliss OS.
• Log in to both systems to ensure they are functioning correctly.

I hope this helps.

Where can I obtain GRUB to manage the boot process for my new dual boot Windows11 / Bliss OS laptop?

Also, if there any issues with drivers for my laptop with the Bliss OS where can I go to to fix issues?

Hi @JHuff2,

Thanks for getting back!

GRUB (GRand Unified Bootloader) is essential for managing the boot menu. Here’s how to install and configure it safely:

If You Installed Bliss OS in UEFI Mode:

Bliss OS should automatically detect Windows and install GRUB during setup.

But if it didn’t:

Boot into Bliss OS using the USB stick (if it's not booting yet).

Once inside, open the Terminal (Ctrl + Alt + T).

Run the following commands: 

sudo apt update 

sudo apt install grub-efi 

sudo grub-install 

sudo update-grub

Reboot. You should now see both Windows 11 and Bliss OS in the boot menu.

If You Need to Manually Install GRUB from Another Linux OS:

Boot into any Linux live distro (like Ubuntu from USB).

Open Terminal and run: 

sudo mount /dev/sdXn /mnt         # Replace with your Bliss OS partition

sudo grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=GRUB --recheck 

sudo update-grub

Reboot your PC.

Since Bliss OS is Android-based, some hardware drivers (like touchpad, Wi-Fi, brightness control) may not work perfectly.
