You might need to look into the computers EFI setup
options. I had a machine that recently had the on board
battery go dead, and on restart it would not boot from the
hard disk?? The setup had somehow gone to a default
setting, in which it was set for the primary boot to be
windows EFI?? Machine had never had windows installed
and wasn't setup for EFI boot with linux. Just changed the
setting, and actually went ahead and disabled the
windows EFI option completely. So, might be a setting
that has it looking for windows EFI only by default. Took
me a while to find option..
Good Luck.

I am a user of Fedora 35 on an old computer. Because of low memory,
low disk space and performance reasons I would want to install Fedora 35 workstation on to
a new HP desktop. The computer had pre-installed Windows 11 (UEFI BIOS). I tried to
install Fedora35 using a USB drive. In order to see the boot menu I had to provide
acpi=off at command line. Installation to a partition went until that stopped with the
error message "Failed to set new efi boot target". Tried to install without a
Windows partition on a clean disk but got the same error. I managed to install Debian11
with a VGA screen. My system is Intel core i7 11 gen i7-11700@215GHz, 16G RAM with
integrated Intel UHD Graphics 750.
May I have some instructions to follow.
