Motherboard Manufacturer and Model: HP ENVY TouchSmart 14-k022tx Sleekbook
BIOS Revision: F.15
BIOS Type: InsydeH2O
BIOS Link: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp64001-64500/sp64348.exe
Remove after market SSD boot restriction which was first introduced in BIOS version F.14. Previously, restriction can be bypassed by choosing legacy boot. However in F.15, restriction occurs for both UEFI & legacy boot.
HP claims that the mSATA SSD that ships with this laptop can only act as a cache. This has been proven false as I have replaced it with a 128GB mSATA SSD which I can install Windows and boot from prior to BIOS version F.14.
