Install Linux on Lenovo V330-14IKB
Raw
install-linux.md

Here's what I've done to install Ubuntu 18.04. on a Lenovo V330-14IKB laptop. The problem was that the live Ubuntu could not find the NVMe drive.

How get in the BIOS settings:

  • In Windows: Open the Recovery page in the system settings
  • Click "Restart Now"
  • Go to "Troubleshoot" and restart to UEFI settings screen

This guide is not comprehensive and/or correct but may help you to get started:

  1. Go to the BIOS -> Security -> Secure Boot -> Set to Disable
  2. Still in the BIOS: Exit -> OS Optimized Defaults -> Set to Disable
  3. Start Windows 10 -> Disable Fast Start Up in the Power Options
  4. Go to the BIOS -> Configuration -> Sata Controller Mode -> Set to AHCI
  5. Windows may have trouble to start now. Try to start Windows once in Safe Mode or install Samsung's NVMe driver for Windows 10.
  6. Boot Mode 'UEFI' should work for Ubuntu. Otherwise try to set it to 'Legacy Boot / UEFI'
  7. Stick in your USB drive with the Linux image.
  8. Go to the BIOS and change the boot order and put the USB drive at the first position
