change the UEFI Boot sequence

[Hornerboy]

Product: Victus by HP 15L Gaming Desktop PC TG02-0000a (4H508AV)

Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11

I can't set the UEFI Boot Manager to boot from USB. I want to load a version of Ubuntu from a USB stick. This worked perfectly before with Windows 10.

Hi @Hornerboy,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To change the UEFI boot sequence on your Victus by HP 15L Gaming Desktop PC to boot from a USB drive, follow these steps.

Insert the USB Drive:

• Plug the USB stick containing the Ubuntu installation into a USB port on your PC.

Access the UEFI Firmware Settings:

• Restart your computer.
• During the startup process, press the Esc key repeatedly (or the F10 key on some models) to enter the BIOS/UEFI Setup.

Navigate to Boot Options:

• Once in the BIOS/UEFI Setup, use the arrow keys to navigate to the Boot tab or menu.

Change Boot Order:

• Look for an option related to boot order or boot priority.
• Use the arrow keys to move the USB drive to the top of the boot order list.

Enable USB Boot (if needed):

• Some BIOS/UEFI settings may require you to enable USB booting.
• Look for an option like Boot from USB, External Devices, or similar, and ensure it is enabled.

Save and Exit:

• Save your changes and exit the BIOS/UEFI Setup. This is usually done by pressing F10 and then confirming the save.

Boot from USB:

• Your computer should now attempt to boot from the USB stick. If it doesn’t, try restarting the computer again and re-enter the BIOS/UEFI Setup to ensure that the USB device is correctly set as the primary boot option.

If you’re still having issues, make sure that:

• The USB drive is correctly formatted and has the Ubuntu installation media properly written to it.
• The USB port you are using is functional (try different ports if necessary).

If the problem persists, it could be related to a firmware update or settings change that happened during the transition from Windows 10 to Windows 11.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
