HP 15m-dr1012dx Envy x360 Laptop keyboard question

i'm looking to get the HP 15m-dr1012dx Envy x360 Laptop and fold the screen over like in tablet mode but i have to still have the keyboard usable. i found out the keyboard turns off when the pc is put into tablet mode by flipping the screen all the way over to the back. but the way i want to use the pc is with a monitor and flip the screen over to the back an place the screen under the pc and then use the pc as a pc and turn off the screen and use a monitor. can anyone tell me if this is possible?

The turning off the keyboard in favor of the touch screen probably can't be by-passed but if like most Notebooks it has an Fn key + another F key that can choose adding a projector/monitor for displaying on the built-in screen, the projector only or both at the same time and if the keyboard stays active when the folding is done only half way to lay flat it may work. Or if that key feature isn't there for turning one screen off may lay something over the screen.

i was kind of hopping that using the windows key and the p key at the same time like i do now with my current laptop. so when the x360 was still in laptop mode and then folding it back over and still have the keyboard active. but i do not want to buy one just to find out that will not work. so maybe someone on this site may just have one and can test out that theory?

at this time on my laptop i use a monitor and i have the screen off the laptop and i put the screen under the laptop with it turned off using the win+p and selecting the monitor only selection.
