#579 As I have way less experience with EFI than legacy BIOS, I hesitated to add my comment. But there seems to be no answer to your question so far, I'll add my 2 cents. If you can still boot from your Windows installation, there is a hope. You should be able to proceed as in the legacy BIOS

#564 It sounds like the POST delay of your laptop is currently set to zero second and the machine is trying to boot from the wrong devise. Try hitting the [ESC] key repeatedly as soon as you turn on the computer. This key sequence could be different (mine was HP Probook) - so check the support
