15m-es1023dx Boot issue

[Djimo]

Hey everybody. I'm running out of ideas/options here.
I bought a 15m-es1023dx a week ago equiped with Win 11 on it to replace my dying computer. I'm trying to restore a image of my old dual boot system (Win 7/Win 10) and get back to work.

It's a nightmare. The 2 systems are totally different.

- Old: BIOS (non EFI), MBR, SSD
- New: UEFI, GPT, NVme SSD, i7 11th generation, optane, Secure boot

I've erease the GPT Win11 original partition.

Did a system image of the old with Macrium Reflect, restored it with ReDeploy (as the NVMe disk needed some Drivers just to be recognized. Used the "Fix Windows Boot problems" (to rebuildt the BCD, fix the MBR, boot.ini etc).

HP does not recognize this Laptop and point me to the wrong drivers. Wrong BIOS so I can't even flash the latest one.

Does anybody have experience this particular laptop. To at least, have the proper drivers and the latest BIOS.

I've been on it since more than a week. Tried another disk imaging sofware. Lots of messing around with HBCD, other distros. The i7 11th gen, Optane, NVMe, Secure boot, the limited bios options, everything is a pain in the neck to configure in comparaison to my old system. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
