[mdlug] Installing Kubuntu on Windows 11 HP laptop

[R Kannan]

Meant to send this to the list.

Also I found something strange on this laptop, It has some bitlocker 
backup system which does not boot into windows if you had booted into 
another OS. It thinks may be the system is somehow compromised and wants 
you to enter a 48 digit number stored as key in Microsoft account. Don't 
know who is the genius who thought of it. Not sure how it knows I logged 
into another OS because I booted off a USB disk and did not install the 
OS or repartition the hard disk yet.
