    Hi,

    I think you can install Deepin os on huawei matebook D 15.

    Before that, you need to prepare a u disk and change start-up disk via Deepin Boot Maker,you can find this from officical website.

    2.Please download deepin os iso.file from official website and copy this file to this start-up disk.

    3.Please insert your start-up disk and reboot your latop.and then choose the start boot from start-up disk from BIOS configuration.

    Note:please backup your data,before you start to install deepin os

    4.Follow the installation guide to install one by one step,once you reboot your laptop.

    Good Luck

    Ok, so it was easier than I thought to install Deepin OS dual boot Windows 11. All I had to do was shrink some disk space, then used the Deepin installer to set that space to ext4 mount point /.

    My next question is, the current version is Deepin 20.5. If I decide to install Deepin 20.6 later via USB stick over the 20.5 installation, can I still boot into Windows 11? Meaning the update won't touch the current boot menu?

    Dear Friend

    Don't worry,you can install deepin os and windows on the same disk,I mean the update will touch windows os.Before do this,please check online installation guide.

    Here is online installation guide link:
