Loading new Mint 22.1 onto HP Probook

Building a new Linux computer using a HP Probook. It loaded fine with its preinstalled windows hardrive. I installed a larger HP hardrive, put my stick in and loaded the latest Mint 22.1 program. Went through all the questions, seemed to load correctly. It prompted me to reboot, so I did. Came back up and asked me to remove the stick. I removed it. Then hit the enter key. It rebooted automatically. Then it went through the bios load routine and error occurred. The next screen was this:

It cannot find the boot program to load the Linux Mint!!
I reloaded the program a couple of times to hardrive and still got this message. So I believe there is something going on with the bios not set to read the new hardrive. Any ideas how to run the boot program on the new hardrive? It found it on the stick to load the program!

OK, little update. I got into the BIOS using the F10 key and went to advanced settings on the boot. I had to change the Legacy boot setup(default on these older units) to UEFI Native(without CSM). From what I could read on the ole inter-web, the CSM would require Windows 10 to operate. . . and we ain’t going there so. . . Without it is!!
And yup, you guessed it, it just loaded right on up!!! Updating the system now and hopefully she’ll work correctly!
