I believe EFI is involved, but I'm confirming the setup. I'm proceeding with an automatic installation on Ubuntu, not another method.

Getting into the BIOS can be quite challenging, so best of luck!

If you're running Ubuntu, enter that command in the Terminal. Checking the directory `/sys/firmware/efi/efivars` will show the files—indicating EFI mode if present. If issues arise, it means you're using BIOS or an older setup. To find the partition table for your hard drive, run `sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda`. This will display details about the disk label.

Perform a fresh installation of the operating system. It might be wise to swap in an SSD beforehand.

Yes, you can perform a clean installation on your existing HDD even after formatting it.

Tell the installer to clear everything and start fresh.

She might enjoy Ubuntu. It worked on my laptop—though it’s much quicker—in a virtual environment. Its appearance is stunning, making Windows 10 seem dated from 2015.
