No idea. &nbsp;I'd prefer to try to get Safe mode working before I go that route.
</div>


<div>
After three unsuccessful attempts to boot, the boot process itself will offer to enable safe mode - worked for me so far. By the way: is there anything already configured/installed that would mean a lot of work to recover/redo?
</div>


<div>
ok. &nbsp;There is stuff, but not a lot. &nbsp;Do you know how to do a Factory Restore?
</div>


<div>
No, but you should be able to find out either by Manual/Support/HP Forum.
</div>


<div>
OK. &nbsp;I'm surprised no HP experts have posted?
</div>


<div>
Go into the bios and see if there is an option for legacy boot, or disable secure boot.
</div>


<div>
I took your advice and did the factory restore by doing F11 and choosing the option to restore it

Windows 8 is a personal computer operating system developed by Microsoft as part of the Windows NT family of operating systems, with an emphasis on improving its user experience on tablets. In particular, these changes included a touch-optimized Windows shell based on Microsoft's "Metro" design language, the Start screen, a new platform for developing apps with an emphasis on touchscreen input, integration with online services, support for USB 3.0, Advanced Format hard drives, near field communications, and cloud computing. Additional security features were introduced, such as built-in antivirus software, integration with Microsoft SmartScreen phishing filtering service and support for UEFI Secure Boot on supported devices with UEFI firmware.

Windows 8

A laptop or notebook is a portable personal computer with a clamshell form factor, suitable for mobile use. Although originally there was a distinction between laptops and notebooks, the former being bigger and heavier than the latter, there is often no longer any difference. Laptops are commonly used in a variety of settings, such as at work, in education, and for personal multimedia. A laptop combines the components, inputs, outputs and capabilities of a desktop computer, including the display screen, speakers, a keyboard, and pointing devices (such as a touchpad or trackpad) into a single unit. The device can be powered either from a rechargeable battery or by mains electricity from an AC adapter.
