[Guide] HP ProBook/EliteBook/Zbook using Clover UEFI hotpatch (10.11)

Make sure BIOS is current.
Attach photos of all BIOS setting screens.
No other similar reports with your hardware, so suspect it is something specific with your setup...

BIOS is definitely current, upgraded it in Jan when I started this and just checked again now. Photos are attached. Hope that sheds some light on this. Thanks.

Yes i tried it too, fitst cloning working hdd to m.2, dont boot, then formating all m.2 from osx , convert to fat32 and installing clover and neither..

The drive should be partitioned in OS X/macOS Disk Utility such that the EFI partition is created correctly (special requirements regarding EFI GUID).

The guide recommends boot mode to be UEFI with CSM. You have it UEFI/native.

OK, I've mis-read that at some point! Tunnel vision setting in probably. Appreciate the second set of eyes on this. Will flip that over when I get home later and test those patches again. Bet you can't wait!!

As per posts, I am interested in something like 'boot order' in your BIOS. For HP's BIOS, I am sure that it could automatically boot from a disk if you could boot it from the F9 menu.
BTW, how did you 'clone' the hdd?

I cloned the disk with macrium reflect, I have always done well with 2.5 "disks both normal and ssd.As that did not work, I started the osx installed on the hdd and from there formatted the m.2, I installed clover on the partition EFI of m.2 and rebooted, but it did not work either, the last one was to create a new entry with efibootmgr pointing to disk m.2 and \ EFI \ BOOT \ BOOTX64.EFI.This new entry is in menu f9 and if I select it On hand works fine but does not start automatically in any way
