Hp all in one 19-2013w and 19-2113w , that in the Bios i am not getting the legacy support option

Hello,

If you are using an iso, you can use Rufus to create a UFEI partition disk. Rufus can be downloaded from here http://rufus.akeo.ie/. To create the UEFI partition, make sure it is NTFS and MBR partition scheme for BIOS or UEFI computers. I used this with Windows 8.1 and was able to create a fresh install with the bootable usb.

Hope this helps and good luck!

"To fool HP's broken UEFI implementation, put into nvram:

sudo efibootmgr -c -L "Windows Boot Manager" -l "\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi"

Case is not really important in a FAT filesystem. The bootmgfw.efi is the name of the original (now absent) Microsoft bootloader.

Next, set up the bootloaders. Use shimx64.efi as the bootloader. Copy it into <your mount point>/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi (Using the foward slashes you use on a Linux system). Also, copy grubx64.efi into the <your mount point>/EFI/Microsoft/Boot directory (since shim expects it there). I usually leave the grub.cfg file in <your mount point>/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg. grubx64.efi will find it there.

That should be a working boot setup for secure or non secure boot . If you don't care about secure boot, you can just copy grubx64.efi into ...bootmgfw.efi

Just as a fallback, you may put another copy of shim (or grubx64.efi) into .../EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi (note name change to bootx64.efi)(and a copy of grubx64.efi there too).

Some machines will try that if the requested boot fails."

THIS WORKS FOR: HP 19-2113w AIO

In fact, I only had to create the .../EFI/Boot/ directory and populate as stated, above. I left the M$ directory completely out(tested multiple times to be sure).

Enter the BIOS, at boot, using F10 and move(drag) the 'ubuntu' entry to the top of the 'Boot Order' list for UEFI. It can get reset during a failed boot!

Also, I'm using the latest BIOS update from hp.com as of 07/13/2015.

i have tried everything i could find and things i thought of and i still can not get anything to come up to boot from.I have tried the Rufus boot usb to swapping the hard drive & DvD player,reset the BIOS,tried external hard drives & DvD drives and i still have bupkis & legacy support is non existent.The option is there BUT there is no way to enable it.....HP you need to address this !!!!!

Hello mrchuck,

The suggestion that I post was a work around to bypass legacy. When creating your flash drive, you need to make sure it is MBR partition for UEFI. It should be the bottom option in the drop down menu. Then make sure it is formatted as FAT32. Both these options are presented in Rufus. After creating the disk, you can access boot options by hitting F9 and you will see your UEFI sub hard disk. Select this option and you should be on your way. This will not activate Windows though. This is only if you have a valid version of Windows handy.
