Now I want to install win10 with UEFI support , I’ve created already on USB drive , the problem is I cannot find any settings for booting UEFI . Can anyone tell me if my bios locked ? And how to unlock so I can get to all bios settings.

First off, you can not unlock the BIOS to get to all the settings -- as HP has locked out the Advanced Settings and there is nothing we or you can do to change that.

 

Second, as to UEFI installation, if your BIOS supports dual mode -- UEFI or Legacy (CSM) there will be a Mode setting with a pull-down list of settings you can change.  If there is no such setting, your BIOS doesn't support UEFI and there is nothing you can do.
