Can't install Linux 2.9.8 hybrid alongside Windows 11.1

I know Windows 11.1 uses a GPT partitioning. Everything I've read indicates that if I used Rufus to make the USB live stick on a GPT partition that I could do a dual boot install. I turned off bitlocker on the Windows files, turned off secure boot, turned off fastboot under the power settings, and shrank the windows partition to give me 50GB for the install. The install asked me for a missing file related to a sound card and didn't recognize my network (wifi). I selected manual partitioning and did not see any of the partitions other than the USB stick. The live version booted and ran fine. Running gparted showed the EFI partition with an error triangle alongside. I suspect this has something to do with GPT but I can't figure out what.
I'm trying to install this on an HP Laptop. Any thoughts?
