I have an HP Spectre laptop that came with Windows 10 installed on it. It has a 1Tb SSD drive with almost 800Gb of unallocated space. I want to install OpenSuSE 15.3 x64 on this laptop as part of a dual boot system. I have done this many times in the past on other desktops.... Do you have Windows' "fast boot" disabled? Did you reboot Windows rather than "shutting it down", which normally it doesn't really do, before beginning to attempt installation? Is this laptop's hardware newer than 15.3? Hardware lacking CSM support is likely to be too new. If so, you may need to use TW or 15.4 alpha to get needed support. What chipset and CPU is in this laptop?
If you try a net install instead of "DVD" install you're likely to find out for sure whether or not your network hardware is supported. You might be able to get farther along by plugging in an ethernet cable to install, and fuss over how to get wireless to work later. -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
