Install Android on my HP Stream 11. If I run the same version from the USB stick that I installed off the wifi is fine. When I run from internal storage the wifi is not enabled. Can anyone help?
Thanks

So I put the Android x86 iso onto a USB with Etcher. If I boot from USB the Android works fine Wifi etc. But when I install & run it from the hard drive of the PC It boots up but there is no wifi enabled & no option to turn it on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I have reinstalled it directly onto the PC several times & eventually, it found wifi & booted into Android okay the first time. But after a restart, it just goes to this Grub screen & will not work again.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks

I've successfully installed AndroidX86 in a couple of laptops in the past. It installed and ran perfectly on a Dell core i5 (8GB/500GB,
but wasn't happy on a similar spec HP laptop. It's worth noting that Android X86 uses a very old Linux kernel.

You need to talk with the Grub Developers and tell them that Grub in not properly being written to the Master Boot Record. They may give you a script to enter after Grub>

The simple option is to try another Android distribution (such as FydeOS). That's what I did with my Surface Go 3: I tried a few Android distributions, until I found one that worked right. That said, I have two questions:

#1: Why do you want to install Android onto this computer?

#2: Is this computer a tablet-laptop hybrid? That is: Does it have a touch-screen, and can the keyboard fold back so that the computer transforms from a laptop into a tablet?
