[CentOS] UEFI boot manager sequence problems HP Envy

Morning all,

I have a HP Envy dual boot system (Win8 for serious stuff, i.e. Train Sim and
Flight Sim) and Centos 7 for everything else.

In the past I've had the occasional problem where an update on the windows
side has updated the UEFI boot sequence but using efibootmgr has always fixed
it.

On Friday I discovered that my HDD was failing so I tried using Clonezilla to
move it on to a new SSD of the same size.  Unfortunately the clone didn't
work, failing half way through my main partition.  Thankfully the Windows
partitions and boot info cloned across so that side of the system worked.

I then wiped all the Linux partitions and did a clean C7 install using the
latest ISO, all went well, but when it reboot it went straight into Windows. 
Using F9 on reboot I chose CentOS Linux and the new system booted.  Using
efibootmgr I reset the boot sequence and all looked fine (see below).

Unfortunately, when I then reboot it reverts to booting Windows. Using F9 to get
back into Linux then shows that the boot sequence has reverted.  This means that
the updated sequence either was not stored properly, or something is resetting
it.

Legacy support in the BIOS is turned off as it should be, and the boot sequence
in the BIOS only has a limited number of options. The sequence in the BIOS is:

UEFI Boot Order
  USB Diskette on Key/USB Hard Drive
  OS boot Manager                (shown in white)
  Internal CD/DVD ROM Drive
  USB CD/DVD ROM Drive
  ! Network Adapter

Legacy Boot Order
  Notebook Hard Drive
  Internal CD/DVD ROM Drive
  USB Diskette on Key/USB Hard Drive
  USB CD/DVD ROM Drive
  ! Network Adapter

If I press <F9> I get the same options as in efibootmgr but the first
option "Windows Boot Manager" is selected.

I know, that's my problem.  If you look further down the OP I successfully
change the boot sequence, but it doesn't stay that way

I suggest running 'blkid' and 'efibootmgr -v', and double-check
that
the UUID for the CentOS boot entry matches the UUID of the EFI disk.

You can delete and recreate the boot entry with 'efibootmgr', which
will likely solve the problem.

It depends on the UEFI implementation, but when all the boot entries
are wrong (UUID changed due to new disk) sometimes it has a fallback
to find the Windows bootloader and choose it.

Thanks Jonathan.

You're probably right about this as whever I try to do makes has effect.

I've been looking in to efibootmgr to see what I need to do to get it
working but so far with no luck.

When I run it with -v I don't see any UUID details, nor can i see how I
specify them.  One thing I have noticed is that in the blkid output below
everything refers to HD(2,...... Is that correct?

Below is one of many attempts to set the values correctly.
