That means, that when you terminate/shutdown your laptop everything you've saved/edited in Kali is lost. This one will boot you into Kali, but only in the Live mode. For the older booting system for USB, you have to select 'Legacy Mode' (which isn't how Kali starts up but it might help somebody else with an older DOS based OS).I guess you are talking about these options: When I try this it states an error at reading from the CD ROM, which I don't understand as the USB has worked on other systems.Īny help would be appreciated as I'm not sure what else to try.Ĭheers!Apparently the ONLY way to boot a UEFI USB stick on an HP15 is to hit F9 at boot for a boot menu, then select ' boot UEFI USB' option.

I can find it through the advanced options selection.

When I use it in the laptop through the initial page does not have the 'graphical install' option. I'm not a hardware whizz though so I'm possibly wrong.įor the actual install, I use my trusty USB stick that I update regularly, with the latest version from the site available. 1TB of storage and 4GB of RAM, so I believe it should be sufficient? The laptop has an AMD A4-5000 APU CPU, whatever that means. Initially, it took a bit of fiddling around to get it to stop booting into windows, even after what I thought was installing mint as the OS. I've got an old HP 15 laptop I want to install Kali as the main OS, when it was initially bought it had windows pre-installed and a partition for 'recovery'. I've installed Kali before on previous systems and on virtual machines usually successfully, until recently.
