If you see Secure Boot or Secure Boot Configuration in your BIOS but it is grayed out try the following:

 

Step 1. Go into the BIOS and Load HP Factory Default Keys and see if Secure Boot becomes available.

Step 2. If it does not than go into the operating system and disable “Fast Boot” (Steps below).

Step 3. go back into your BIOS and try Load HP Factory Default Keys.

Step 4. enable Secure Boot at this point.

 

There are several reasons why the Legacy Boot setting in BIOS might be grayed out and can't be enabled. You may need to check each option before you can enable Legacy Boot.
