I have problems getting into the BIOS of my hp envy h8-1440eo. It doesn't have an OS installed, and I'm trying to install POP!_os, but to do that i need to turn off secure boot, and here lies the problem. Every time I turn it on, I can't get into the BIOS.

I have tried to reset the CMOS, used the Win + B method, unplugging the PC and pushing the power button for 30 seconds, and then turning it on. Nothing works. Therefore I hope that some of you can help me.

Hi @cris2001,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query.

 

I am sorry to hear that your unable to access the BIOS on your HP Envy h8-1440eo so that you can disable secure boot, I would request you to please follow the steps:

 

Clear CMOS / Reset BIOS

  • Power off the system and disconnect from power.
  • Locate the CMOS battery or reset jumper on the board.
  • Remove the battery or short the jumper for 10–15 seconds.
  • Reinstall battery / restore jumper, power on, and try entering BIOS.

Access BIOS Setup:

  • As soon as the computer starts, repeatedly press the Esc key until the Startup Menu appears.
  • From the Startup Menu, press the F10 key to access the BIOS Setup Utility.

Disable Secure Boot:

  • Once in the BIOS Setup Utility, use the arrow keys to navigate to the Security menu.
  • Select Secure Boot Configuration or a similar option.
  • You may encounter a warning screen; press F10 to continue.
  • Disable Secure Boot and enable Legacy Support if needed.
  • Press F10 to accept the changes.
  • Save Changes and Exit:

Take care and have an amazing day!
