Hi @Harvey99 ,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd be happy to help you! 

To boot your HP All-in-One PC (model 19-2114) from a Windows 11 distribution USB stick, follow these steps:

Insert the Bootable USB Stick:

• Ensure the USB stick is properly prepared with the Windows 11 installation files. Insert it into a USB port on your PC.

Access the Boot Menu:

• Turn on the PC and immediately press the Esc key repeatedly (once per second) until the Startup Menu appears.
• From the menu, press F9 to open the Boot Device Options menu.

Select the USB Device:

• Use the arrow keys to select your USB drive from the list of boot devices and press Enter.

Begin the Installation Process:

• The PC should boot from the USB stick and load the Windows 11 installation setup. Follow the on-screen prompts to proceed with installation or troubleshooting.

if the USB Doesn't Boot:

Check BIOS Settings:

• Access the BIOS by pressing F10 during startup.
• Ensure USB boot is enabled under the Boot Options section.
• If Secure Boot is enabled, disable it temporarily as it may block booting from external devices.

Confirm USB is Bootable:

• Use tools like Rufus or Microsoft's Media Creation Tool to verify that the USB is correctly configured as a bootable drive.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted for further assistance
