Dual Boot Kali Linux with Windows 10

ramnikgarg

I have just bought ACER Nitro 5 AN515-52 76VR, and would like to dual boot windows 10 and Kali Linux (any version!) on it. Windows appears to run with no problem, but when I try to install Kali from a usb it skips the first installation type page and jumps straight to the manual repartition page, but with no partitions actually shown. Running parted -l shows nothing, but running sudo parted -l shows the existing partitions.

I have a 1tb had with a 16gb optane drive, as seems to be common in similar devices. I have seen people with similar problems suggest the problem is Intel's rst sata controller.

Ideally I would like to install linux with drivers to support the optane memory. Does anyone know if/when that will be possible?

If not, has anyone successfully installed windows in ahci mode on this machine? Ive tried both the regedit method and restarting in safe mode after changing to ahci in the bios method which I've seen in various places, but neither seem to work for me.

Also, is this issue likely to affect any machine with a hdd accelerated using Intel optane?

or should i remove intel optane and install a Samsung 970 Evo Plus 512GB NVME drive & like to know is NVME drive supports my lapyop?

Good Morning ramnikgarg !

Firstly, what reason to install the Kali distro?
Are you familiar with Linux?
Do you know that this distro has specific functions?
Do you have advanced shell knowledge?
