Installing Mint On HP Envy X2

[GregoryRasputin]

I hope this is the right forum, i was unsure as to where to post this article, so thought here would be the best place.

I have an HP Envy X2 13-j000na
https://support.hp.com/gb-en/product/hp ... /c04495516
I would like to install Linux Mint on it, but i am not quite sure how to go about this.
Back in 2014/2015 there seemed to be a few tutorials or guides on how to install Ubuntu, but i was afraid to attempt installing Linux as the device was new and quite expensive, i did not want to end up with a brick, so i never bothered trying to install Linux.
At Christmas was bought a new Tablet and decided to try and install Linux on the HP Envy X2, i searched Google and could not fin any guides that could help me or any of the ones that i had seen from before, i was sure XDA-Developers had a guide, but i cannot find it.

So i am wondering if anyone here has the same device and has installed Linux Mint on it and if they have could they give me pointers or a tutorial.

Thanks

What's the os present now? Are you going for dual boot or Mint will be the only os?

Thank You for the reply
Windows 10 is installed on it at the moment and i plan to use solely Linux.
I know how to install Linux Mint on a normal PC or Laptop, i am using Linux Mint XFCE on my main computer, however i am unsure of installing it on a device like the HP Envy X2, i am also unsure if i mess up somewhere that i will be able to rescue the device from being a brick.

As per http://www.linlap.com/hp_envy_x2_13-j000_series , your tablet should run OK with Linux.

You should have a Win 10 backup Recovery media(= USB or DVD) or System Image and run a "test-drive" with the Live LM USB. If every peripheral device works during the test-drive, then only install LM.

Thanks, now to build the courage to actually do it >.<

Sorry for bumping, just thought i would update the thread on my progress, i installed Linux Mint a couple of hours after creating this thread, i meant to post a while back, but have been busy.
I installed it quite easily after i understood what to do, it was very easy and i don't know why it took me so long to do it.
