This is an older laptop, no UEFI anywhere. I gave up trying to install via thumb drive. I'm trying to install via DVD. I've installed both 2.x and 3.x the same way without any issues. For some reason,...

Post: Problems installing 4.0 & no wifi

Just attempted to install 4.0 on my HP 2750p (2570p?) laptop. It's been a while since I've done much more than update the laptop as I was still on 3.6. (I began w/2.2.) I couldn't install via USB so I...

Post: Re: UEFI Build requests - suggested help

Whew!  That's a lot of technical stuff I just don't think I'm up to.  I installed LL on my desktop when it had the old mobo (without UEFI).  That was simple although there was a slight learning curve....

Post: Re: UEFI Build requests - suggested help

I know this is an old thread so I hope someone will reply. I removed LL (3.x) from my desktop when I rebuilt it as the new mobo uses UEFI.  (My laptop is still running LL 3.4.)  While I understand th...

Thanks but I get "same version already installed" and no change in vid card performance.  It was worth a try.

Thanks.  TBH, I'm half tempted to go back to Windows.  I can do what needs to be done a bit easier as I'm not terribly smart.

I don't really understand the UEFI thing (I'm not as smart as I look :) ).  All I think I know is that Jerry doesn't like it and LL doesn't use it?  I don't care one way or another but can I use a mob...
