HP 280 G2 Small Form Factor PC

Hi I have a

HP 280 G2 sff. Bios rev 8425 vf.01

The original hard drive died, so I have replaced it with a 64gb ssd on sata 0 and a 80gb mechanical drive on sata 1.

I have run diagnostics on both drives and they have both passed.

I have created a win 10 64 bit flash drive using the standard microsoft tool https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

I have turned of legacy support in the bios

Only UEFI Boot sources are available.

SATA 0 and SATA 1are available in Device security

All USB ports are enabled in USB Security

I have disabled secure boot under Secure boot configuration.

 

I would like to try updating the bios but the option to update through the bios isn't available.

So I want to install windows before trying to update the bios

 

When I place the windows 10 flash drive in the usb port and press F9 to access the boot option the the UEFI : TDK LoR TF10 PMAP is visable so I select it.

The USB starts to boot then gets to the windows 10 logo the dots start to spin in a circle and make half a rotation before freezing.

I have tried pressing shift F10 to access additional installation options at the windows installation logo but it just freezes.

I'm at my wits end. Please can you
