Welcome to HP Forums, 

This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips, 

Thank you for posting your query, I'll be more than glad to help you out 🙂 

 

As I understand you need the correct UEFI boot order,

Don't worry as I'll be glad to help, however, to provide an accurate resolution, I need a few more details: 

Have you attempted to use the F5 on Bios to restore to defaults?

 

If you have and it didn't work, I recommend you check the below details:

The default boot order settings for the computer are configured in the factory. The default boot order for HP notebook PCs is listed below.

  1. Floppy disk drive

  2. Optical drive (DVD, CD-ROM)

  3. Hard drive

  4. USB device

  5. Network adapter

   NOTE:

An operating system not found error message may appear if a floppy disk or an optical disk is inserted into a computer that does not contain an operating system. If this error occurs, remove the disk and restart the computer.

If you have installed a second hard drive and the computer does not boot, please select the hard drive which contains the operating system as first boot device in the hard drive group.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE STEPS AND INSTRUCTIONS.

(By the end of this article all the issues should be resolved)

 

Keep me posted,

If the information I've provided was helpful, 

give us some reinforcement by clicking the solution and kudos buttons, 

that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!

Good Luck.
