Product: HP Elite desk 800G2 BIOS
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

I have just bought a HP Elite desk 800G2 of second hand.

It was  an enterprise PC.

I want to change BIOS in order to install linux (Ubuntu).

I have tried to acces to UEFI following windows 10 steps

but after choosing UEFI firmware settings nothings happens, and windows 10 runs agains.

I have tried F10 after choosing UEFI firmware settings, but nothing, and windows 10 runs agains

I have tried F10 at the begining of windows 10 loading, and nothing happens.

I can't have access to BIOS or UEFI, impossible.

Only F2 let me make a memory and hard-disk check. But I don't need it.

Any help?

Hey, did you find a solution to this problem? It appears you have the same issue as me. I had issues so reflashed the bios and now the bios seems to be stuck in legacy as it will no long boot my original windows installation. I get the post screen asking to press ESC but it never enters the bios. It also seems to be on fast boot now by default. Very frustrating. I have reinstalled windows as a legacy install just to get access but this is not what I need at all
