Gerne. Bin gespannt, was du sagen wirst.

Mein Grundproblem ist immer noch mein YT Archiv...funktioniert seit Jahrzehnten. Für Wechselspielchen durch Instanzen-Lebenszyklen habe ich keine Zeit. (Für eine eigene schon gar nicht.)

PS:
Funny that it DOES seem possible to install Ubuntu on an OMEN-17 after all.

I quickly read through the steps and recognized them.

Of course, I did not press install but went for the direct boot from stick.

In any event, my feeling now is that what the machine says is correct: there is a problem with MY BIOS.

As I took pics, I will send them to HP as well.

...original stick I had purchased, I could never re-install it due to partition incompatibilities. Not with the new one.
Well, this is solved for now.

I can now figure out which modules are which and send the OMEN back to HP once again.

Thank you very much for your help and your kind words in particular.

I might try again later on, but for now, I need to get my PC moving again.
Strange that it did not work out with the old ASUS laptop either.

I will bookmark this post to be able to get back to it.

Funny enough, creating the Win10 bootstick was a piece of cake (as well) and the installation went smoothly (apart from the "1 m." updates and restarts).
Strange, with the...

But thanks again.

...-no changes possible.
I then Powered Off the system and it hung in several error lines. - Too risky for me and the 1024x768 is unusable nowadays.

So, final verdict: OMEN is incompatible with UBUNTU, at least.

Also, I tried to use the Boot Stick on my old ASUS. I did add the USBdrive as 1st boot priority. However, the Laptop does not recognize any bootable OS at all.
I therefore giv

Sooo...,

I have succeeded in using your "SGX to "enable" pretty quickly.
Still, same errors and the yellow UBUNTU.

I then saw that there is another boot option with "safe graphics", which I used. And (partial) "bingo": I finally got a boot, but still the same disturbing BIOS errors.
The System then booted in a "safe mode" with 1024x768 resolution.
I found where I could (theoretically) change this, but as it is "safe mode"--...

I refrain from asking why.

I am thankful for the solution path. Will try it tomorrow.
