    I don’t know why it wouldn’t be possible.

    Did you try installing it and see what happens? A BIOS with only UEFI shouldn’t be a problem.

      I tired installing and disabled Secure Boot but the install stops and can’t find Secure Boot file thing. It is like Secure Boot is still enabled. Hope I making sense.

    I bought a laptop very similar (same model group but from the year after) to this just before Christmas for my niece. Got it 2nd hand, as my brother was just looking a laptop that she could browse on and maybe do some homework.

    I refurbished it and got it cleaned up and I tried lubuntu, xubuntu, linux mint xfce and one other (forget now). Same thing kept happening. Would simply freeze when trying to boot them. Had removed Secure Boot too.

    After couple days of trying I ended up giving up and going with a Windows 10 LTSC IoT version from Massgrave for her.

    Wish I had better news or something more productive for you. Sorry!
