No need to exploit the "analogue hole" given better options.
Incidentally, all computer hardware manufactured since about 2009 has UEFI. On 32-bit machines this may be limited to running a BIOS layer, but all 64-bit machines require UEFI.
It's unlikely that HP would go to the trouble of integrating Secure Boot into your (already purchased) machine as this is only a requirement for Windows 8 hardware certification. There's no money in them doing that.
Personally I would also start bashing HP (them clever people what sold off their PC business, then realised that they had no profit center any more), but I'm worried what your reply might be.
