Ok I ended up taking laptop to a computer service shop and ask for a MX17 Instalation. They first made sure that everything worked as some of you suggested. Then once they found out it work and all hardware (WiFi,f-keys and I/O) worked they wiped out Ubuntu.
I am really loving this distro.
Thank you all
