Hello. I have a problem with my HP Pavilion 17 e-110sw. Only OS I can boot is windows 8.1. It was preinstalled on laptop. When I try to boot different OS from other drives it freezes at boot (windows startup dots) examples - Windows 7,10,11 and even Linux. I tried to change RAM to different one but it doesn't help. I upgraded the bios to f28 rev 3.7 but it doesn’t help too. Before you start mention me to change options in bios like legacy boot or uefi - I did it, nothing changes. Any ideas?

Sorry no one has responded before this ...

 

Have you confirmed in the UEFI settings that Secure Boot is Disabled?  A machine this old might have it, or it might not. All the newer ones with Win10 and newer do.
