This will be a growing problem, if there is no step processes in place to
get UEFI turned off you HP Guy will have big problems in the coming months.
I fear Microsoft is trying to lockout Linux from installing on new machine.

The only other way the user can install Linux is by installing VMware and
do it that way. but its only a short stop gap solutions.
