This is a new workstation out of the box and have not figure out the reason. In the BIOS the legacy is disable and secure boot is enabled. everything else is factory defaulted. Have anyone seeing this error. Please I need some guidance. Orlando.

    For a new workstation didn't it come with Windows 10 professional (OEM)?

    Consider a clean install with a windows 10 iso:

    The windows 10 I am trying to install has been customized; it has some extra drivers that are used to run other programs. I am able to install this OS in other HP models but this particular one. I guessing i have to make changes to the BIOS, but unsure what.

    Often the BIOS is unique for each computer company and model.

    For HP Boot or reboot the computer > repetitively click F10.

    HP computers (business models) typically have these BIOS options:

    Legacy
    UEFI Native (without CSM)
    UEFI Hybrid (with CSM)

    If there are plans to upgrade to Windows 11 when available, then plan to use UEFI Native (without CSM).

    Windows can be clean installed with the various BIOS options.

    Many drivers can be installed overnight using HP software / firmware:
    a) Image assist
    b) Support Assistant
    c) Softpaq download manager (retired)

    Drivers can be backed up and restored making clean install easier:
