Looks like HP is making it harder than usual to dual-boot Windows with something else.
Alternative is to clone your Windows partitions and recovery and then turn it into a VM to run within GNU/Linux using free Oracle VirtualBox or other FOSS solutions. I'm thinking of doing it eventually.
One reason is because I'm unable to get 2nd Extended Desktop on Android to work. VM Windows on my GNU/Linux should resolve that. I can also free up the Windows partition to reallocation to my Zorin OS 16.
But, think any of you have free time to help him out some more? He's been going at it for weeks and HP isn't giving up on making him go bonkers trying to solve this problem. Thanks!
