Regarding a:

Question:
In above computer, how to setup BIOS screen to boot from a USB stick (drive)?

Said differently:

Power OFF (HP Pavilion 17 Notebook) then Power ON ...
What buttons to press?

To instruct BIOS to boot from a USB stick (drive) and
not boot from the normal C: drive.

Ok, after ESC key is pressed then what buttons to press?   

What MENU options to choose in BIOS?  

How to setup BIOS screen to boot from a USB stick (drive)?  

For example, run SCAN off a bootable USB drive not HDD (hard disk drive). 

BIOS options were changed after ESC key was pressed, but, 

computer keeps booting from HDD (hard disk drive) to Windows 8.1 

F10 was pressed to save BIOS changes, but, computer does not boot from USB.  

Computer is: 

HP Pavilion 17 Notebook PC  

17-e028ca = Model  

E8B88UA#ABL = Product ID  

Windows 8.1 = Operating System  

Specific BIOS Menu options are needed, what are they?  

BIOS options that allow Pavilion 17 to boot off a USB drive (stick)?

When you tapped Esc key-did you get the Startup Menu with F9 as one of the choices? If so press F9 to choose boot device . Use arrow key to select/highlight USB as boot device.Press Enter key after selecting USB.
