Greetings @Sjaak12
Welcome to the HP Forum.
Chances are your W11 HP PC is using Secure Boot and a TPM.
It is possible the Linux boot media is not compatible with Secure Boot if the USB flash drive does not appear in the UEFI boot menu.
Are you trying to do a dual boot setup?
I run Linux Mint on a separate PC. I don't mess with dual boot configs anymore.

Typically that error means the USB flash drive is not boot-able. Either remake the USB properly ot find the directions on "How To" on the Linux distro site.
I'm not an HP employee.
