[mdlug] Installing Kubuntu on Windows 11 HP laptop

[Bob]

   I also found this:

   1 About BitLocker recovery key

   Please log in to aka.ms/myrecoverykey with your Microsoft account

   Find the recoverykey corresponding to your computer name and record it

   Right-click your locked drive, select Turn off BitLocker, and enter
   recoverykey, wait for completion to unlock bitlocker

   2 Boot into surface UEFI (after a complete shutdown, press and hold
   volume + and power at the same time to power on)

   select boot configuration

   Find enable boot configuration lock and change it to off

   Other systems can then be installed.

   Hope this helps

     All,
     Following up on my Kubuntu trial run, I tried installing. Kubuntu
     installer does not have seem to have an option to resize the
     bitlocker partion that the laptop came with as the installer does no
     recognize this partition.
     There are basically four options:
     Guided - use entire disk
     Guided - use entire disk and set up LVM
     Guided entire disk and set up encrypted LVM
     Manual
     When I select Manual it does not allow me to shrink the bitlocker
     partition.
     Is wiping out the current windows OS the only way to install Kubuntu
     on this laptop? Also the kubuntu installer does not change anything
     in the partition table till I hit the final install button. Am I
     right?
     Thanks

     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.
