upgrade from 17.10 to 18.04 crashed at about 80% complete. I have never been able to run this computer properly since I wiped windows 10 to install Ubuntu

[Jim Aird]

I suspect Microsoft is blocking me out. It is crashing less since I started getting firmware upgrades,
The Kernel may be the problem
I'm not very knowledgeable on computers.
My computer is a HP ENVY

Bug 1789107

I sent a document to HP and UEFI asking for help, both were ignored. A
second letter was sent to HP, that was also ignored.

A boot USB was able to install Ubuntu but the computer would not run
ubuntu at that time.

When the main processor manufacturers found out that there were faults
in their CPU’s Ubuntu made changes to there firmware.

When I noticed the word “firmware” when I was installing the updates
for me other machine, I got the HP machine out of the cupboard, after
many attempts it worked once. After the next few weeks. I managed run
Ubuntu about 5 times, not good but it gave me hope.

I installed Ubuntu 17 10 it worked better but still not perfect.

I tried to install Ubuntu 18 04 from a USB stick , it would not
install so I tried to upgrade from Ubuntu 17 10, the upgrade kept
crashing.

That is when someone wondered what on earth is going on down there?
