How to use hw vendor EFI diagnostics ?
I just got myself a new laptop - the old one broke.
It is an HP stream, I wiped MS Windows and installed Linux Mint 21.
The machine came with some nice hardware diagnostics, written by/for HP. These
could be run without booting MS Windows. I would like to have the ability to
run these as they know more about the laptop's hardware than what is installed
from Mint -- just some generic memory test.
I did copy the EFI before it was overwritten by the Linux installation.
How do I integrate the HP diagnostics into the current EFI ?
Thanks in advance.
This is what there is now:
/boot/efi/
/boot/efi/EFI
/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu
/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi
/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi
/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/mmx64.efi
/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/BOOTX64.CSV
/boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu/grub.cfg
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/BOOTX64.EFI
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/fbx64.efi
/boot/efi/EFI/BOOT/mmx64.efi
This is what I have preserved from before Linux install:

There is also some MS stuff (I'm just listing top level directories, 185 in total):
