While on the Device Configuration page, make sure the UEFI Boot Mode is

enabled. Also, if HP QuickLook 2 application use is desired, make sure HP

QuickLook 2 is enabled as well.

Now exit the Setup, making sure to save these changes – the system will reboot.

Step 2

: After the system reboots, press <ESC> and then select <F9>. On the F9

menu, select the "Boot From EFI File" option (this option only shows up when the PC

is in the UEFI Boot Mode). See Figure 4.

Note: Selecting the "Boot From EFI File" option enables launching the Windows

Setup process from the installation media using the UEFI boot method on the

Windows installation DVD. The UEFI boot of Windows Setup is required for

Windows to configure the installed operating system for UEFI boot. If the UEFI boot

method on the installation DVD is not used, Windows Setup will launch using BIOS

firmware by default, and the installed operating system will use BIOS boot.
