So before I attempt to install fyde os on my laptop I just want to know whether its gonna boot up in legacy bios(my bios is locked with a password so I cant change to uefi), a guy suggested to use the vm version idk how true this is but yeah, I downloaded the right variant for my laptop its an hp elitebook 8470p kinda old I know. Anyways will it boot up or no?
Iām also stuck with this problem, canāt find a solution anywhere.
Please add your device information. If your device doesnāt support UEFI booting, odds are itās too old for FydeOS to support.
Dell Latitude E6430
I donāt have this device, but from what Iāve searched online, it looks like it supports UEFI mode.

Yes it supports.
I have convert to UEFi and tried with UEFi Boot but still installation stops at FydeOS logo and doesnāt go any further.
But my SSD is on MBR partition, do I have to convert it to GPT too?
MBR does not affect booting, but cannot multi-boot installations. If switching to UEFI still doesnāt boot, I donāt have any other solution, as we donāt have this device as a test.
A guy on this thread is saying that the VM version works for the legacy boot. Is this correct?
I donāt think so.
The support team is not God and does not know everything. I donāt think the VM version works for the legacy boot, but there is no absolute in this world, maybe he has strange tricks to make the VM version work for the legacy boot. Iām not him, so I can only say I donāt think so.
Be nice. Donāt act like a bossy customer who has paid millions for support. You are a free user ask for help in community. No one has obligation to answer your question even the support team. If someone reply, say thank you. This is helpful to maintain a good community.
Iām hoping youāve gotten your answer by now. But Iām sure someone else will have the same issue. I have a Dell Vostro 3550. Itās BIOS only. I didnāt realize I would have issues, especially since Iām actually typing this from my FYDE OS 18 Install. What I did:
- Formatted my USB as FAT32 MBR.
- Using Etcher I flashed my downloaded ISO file onto the USB. Seems Etcher doesnāt run verification concerning MBR vs. GPT discrepancies. However if an alert pops up, bypass it if the option is given.
- Install as normal. Mine failed twice. It kepts stopping when it got to TPM mount point so I deleted the hard drive and reinstalled. PERFECT!
- PROBLEM: I cannot change to developer mode and install GAPPS! Everything else however runs like a charm.
Iām going to see if I can get Android working by way of Linux using Waydroid. Otherwise I have to try the route of SEABios & Coreboot.
Hi - Iām trying to get a HP Elitebook 8470p to boot up as well - at the moment Iām getting nowhere. I get a blank screen and then the machine reboots. Changing some settings I get text saying it is booting the kernel, then the machine reboots.
Iāve got ChromeOS Flex on it at the moment. Pretty sure I have the correct image - Iāve tried with the older PC image and the PC with AMD Radon graphics - turns out I have Radon graphics.
Been trying different bios settings for ages but canāt get it to boot. Iād like to not have to log into google every time I use it, but thems the breaks.
Gotta say - ChromeOS Flex has one image and it boots everything ā¦
Because chromeos flex does not have android subsystem.
Well, thatād explain it. Makes me want it more now. I ran out in a desktop machine from a usb stick and it looks pretty good.
Btw - got a new usb drive ā¦ still no luck.
I have an E6500 that doesnāt support UEFI. Can I still install FydeOS? It runs Windows 7 64bit fine, so Iād think it would also run Fyde. But how can I install it?
