My error with Bitlocker was not resolved so I purchased a new replacement SSD. Thus the new SSD does not have any software on it.  So I need to install Windows on to the SSD..

 

I have checked through the HP PC Hardware  Diagnostic UEFI and the new SSD  checks out ok - no problems (using F2 on startup)

 

On startup I select F10 which takes me to the BIOS Setup Utility.  Under Main and System Information  the new SSD is shown under Storage device - all good.

 

I believe from this BIOS screen there should be options for 'System Configuration' that would allow options to load Windows on to the new SSD. I do not have these options and it may be as this laptop is viewed as commercial and not consumer? I do not know if this is true? 

 

In the BIOS I see the other aspects.. 'Security' and 'Advanced' but not the 'System Configuration' option. 

 

How am I able to access the System Configuration part of the BIOS (which would probably resolved my issues with the Bitlocker/ Windows loop)?

 

Picture shows what I see on my BIOS System Utility screen... And below that what should be seen on the screen
