Hi I have hp elitebook 8460p [Personal Information Removed] The real problem I am facing is like, I am unable to boot liveos from usb. Tried selecting usb in boot option. Enabled uefi boot mode and gave priority to usb. Unchecked fast boot. Even tried usb legacy support. I thought it might be wrong with usb but on my other pc it working all good. Unable to resolve live boot problem. Need help with it.

The usual problem with booting from USB on modern laptops is that Secure Boot is usually enabled in the UEFI Settings, Security section, and when that is Enabled, the BIOS will not even see the USB stick. You have to disable that.
Should also tell you that if you are booting from a Linux distro USB, HP does not provide Linux support. So if you have problems with that, or if you install the distro, you are on your own regarding support.
