Product: 15-ek0013dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

Last week I bought HP OMEN 15, 2020 model 15-ek0013dx. I want to install Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. My laptop has a 512GB NVMe. I created 100GB free space by shrinking windows partition. Installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. But I don't see the GRUB menu at startup. I tried EasyBCD to add Ubuntu entry but getting error "EFI mode is present on the laptop so can't add Ubuntu entry using Easy BCD".

 

Anyone did dual boot on Hp OEM 15 2020 laptop? I bought this laptop to install Ubuntu for DL/ML work due to RTX2060 GPU. If I can't install Ubuntu then I will return it.   

 

I also contacted Hp support but they said they can't support Ubuntu installation.

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions/help.
