Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)
I bought the laptop the day before which came with windows 10 pre-installed in it. I wanted to install Ubuntu alongside windows, unfortunately I am not being able to do so. The installation process is all good, if there's something I was lagging was in boot options (secure boot, UEFI or so on). For the experimental purpose, I clean formatted my laptop(even Windows 10)  and installed Ubuntu but the result was same, I could not boot into the Ubuntu either. Now I am not being able to install Windows as well. The suggestions would be highly appreciated.

I'm sorry, but we here are not equipped to provide detailed Linux support.

HP only warranties their PCs for usage with the OS that comes preinstalled. IF you replace that with Linux, or add a Linux OS, then you assume full responsibility for maintaining that -- as HP provides Linux assistance only on Redhat and then only to commercial customers.

The primary "challenge" to using Linux on any HP PC is the availability of Linux drivers. Any hardware that does not work will then range from simple (if there are Linux drivers available) to impossible (if there are NO Linux drivers available) to fix.

Since HP does not provide Linux drivers, your best bet for Linux support is to contact the support forum for the Linux distro you are using -- in this case, the Ubuntu Forums: http://ubuntuforums.org/


Folks on Linux support forums have experience using a variety of machines with Linux and know a lot about driver and installation issues. You will be able to get sound and detailed help there.

Good Luck
