    I’d try one of the big Linuxes, such as Ubuntu, they often are more compatible than other Linuxes. Have you tried searching for “Linux on HP spectre” to see if there’s any special configuration required

      Ubuntu is what I was endeavoring to install.

      I googled all sorts of things to no avail. Now, software solutions seem moot because it wont power on or even charge.

      I should google “how to charge a laptop battery when it’s removed” or “do new laptop batteries come pre-charged” … I feel like if I can get some juice, i can reset the bios to default and hopefully undo my power issue. Then, i can start this whole thing over again with extra caution.
