  If HPET is not an option in firmware, then it is disabled (0x00) and hidden from you. Which in practice is bad. The only option for users in this case is to download your firmware from the vendor, use this tool to locate the register and set the value with this tool to enabled (0x01).

  explanation: this is where maxdarksol begins skimping on explanation. download the efi file here. It's called modGRUBShell.efi instead of bootx64.efi. It doesn't matter, it's just a file name.
