HP Envy X360 And Android X86

[Prahsper Hughes]

Hi...I had an
HP Envy x360 15-w010dx
i5-5200U -2.7ghz
8GB ram

Intel HD Graphics 5500 

Windows 10 and Android X86 dual boot-no issues.

Used/installed  Android-x86 4.4-r5 (KitKat-x86) and
Android-x86 5.1-rc1 (lollipop-x86) again no issues

 Now I have the HP Envy X360 M6-W105dx

i5-6500

16GB ram

Intel HD Graphics 520

Windows 10

Here are my issues:

Android-x86 4.4-r5 (KitKat-x86) Install fine...grub option chosen...dual boots with WIN but touchscreen doesn't work.

Android-x86 5.1-rc1 (lollipop-x86) Same as KitKat

Android-x86 6.0-r3 (Marshmallow-x86) Installs with no adding of grub option-so can't dual boot. Boots right to Windows. Grub2win doesn't even see it-touchscreen doesn't work when I used LiveCD.

Android-x86 7.1-rc2 (Nougat-x86) Same issue as Marshmallow.

Can someone please assist me as to what to do to get these to work? Or is this a non-compatible laptop?

You need to search if there is a Linux driver for the touchscreen.

OK...my mistake...let me rephrase this. Android-x86 7.1-rc2 (Nougat-x86) does work with the touchscreen. No problem there. It's just installing it is where the problem is. During installation it does not give me the option to install grub loader but does offer EFI Grub2. So I can't get the dual boot with Win10 and Android to work. It just loads straight to windows. This happens on a 1TB HDD and on a 500GB SSD. With Grub2win it doesn't even see the Android installation. I get the following:
 (hd0)  (hd0,msdos1)  (hd0)  (hd0,msdos1) . What can I do to fix this? Thanks.

OK. Thank you for clarifying it.

That's because your BIOS is UEFI booting.
You can change it to legacy booting if it supported.
Or you can install EFI Grub2 but
it only provides a fallback boot entry.
On some devices (like yours?) it may not boot
unless you disable windows boot loader.

I don't know Grub2win but
it should work as before.

Grub2Win is an alternative grub dual boot loader downloaded on the net for those who can't get the Android X86 grub loader to work. Once you set the right parameters for Win and Android, it will create a dual boot loader for you. It is a handy tool once you get it setup right.
I did have UEFI turned off. I always use legacy instead. I double checked the bios again to make sure all setting were in place and they were.
I retried to install Android-x86 7.1-rc2 (Nougat-x86) and guess what? It installed the way it was supposed to. This time it did offer the "do you want to install grub loader". Now it is working fine. Don't know what happened before, but thanks for your help.
