Editing Lenovo ThinkPad P1 Gen 2 (section)

== Getting Ubuntu to Install and Boot ==
'''<u>HELP WANTED</u>: If you want to install Linux on this laptop, please tell us on Matrix or Telegram so we can help and document the process!'''

'''WARNING: DOCUMENTATION IS NOT COMPLETE YET.'''

If you are not experienced with installing Linux on different laptops, please let us know in the Telegram (https://t.me/rhlug) before installing Ubuntu or making any changes to your hard drives - we do not have 100% documentation on this laptop yet and we don't want you to lose your data.

'''Before trying to install, please note the following: IF YOU HAVE BITLOCKER ON A DRIVE, YOU MUST HAVE YOUR WINDOWS BITLOCKER RECOVERY KEY IF YOU WANT TO SHRINK THAT WINDOWS PARTITION ON THAT DRIVE. OTHERWISE, FIND A DIFFERENT HARD DRIVE OR YOUR DATA WILL BE LOST. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!'''

'''Also, especially if you have little experience with the command line, PLEASE shrink your BitLocker drives within Windows, not within the Ubuntu installer. There are ways to do it using the Linux command line, but you have to be careful!'''

The steps are similar to the [[Lenovo ThinkPad P1]] (BIOS version numbers will be different.)
