I am trying to install FreeBSD 15

Rock The UEFI pin would come from HP, not from Microsoft - assuming your UEFI requires a pin to properly turn off secure boot.

I disabled "secure boot" at the BIOS after pressing F1. Then booted to the bitlocker menu asking to enter it and printing that I have to login my MS account to find it. I decided to go back and enable "secure boot" because I got error while login to my account in MS from phone.

I may try to disable secure boot and when the bitlocker menu is printed to enter the number from login to my MS account.

If you are dual booting many operating systems the boot order also has to be set by priority.

This is where I get a lot of bugs sometimes at boot time with both HP and Dell BIOS

For now I only boot 1 OS at a time by manually disabling the hard drive not in use with multiple hard drives

I put HD on top of boot order since I installed a HD with FreeBSD14.1. But EUFI does not show it.

I think if there is 1 space where we could lead in the operating systems space I would say firmware and BIOS

Afaik no 1 operating system leads that space.

That would keep FreeBSD competitive for decades to come

I haven’t made the time to comb over HP’s BIOS OP

Fwiw, my machine I run a lot recently on Dell BIOS, I had just updated the BIOS from a 2016-2017 version release to the latest which is a 2022 version release

I don't know the HP uefi bios but I don't think you should see bitlocker asking for keys with secure boot turned off. That's the part confusing me.

I don't think you should see bitlocker asking for keys with secure boot turned off. That's the part confusing me.

There is also a section of the BIOS that deals with drive security. My thought is a password on the drive.
I wonder if that's what the problem is now. Secure Boot is only one component now disabled.

For experiment I would try another disk drive and try installing to it..
