Yes it's in the right order.

Yesterday I was again trying to install Windows 8.1 and that time the window setup actually booted but the window installation got freezed on getting files ready for installation ....then after sometime USB powered off.....
 
check with hp web page make sure you have the newest bios on it. a lot of times with hp and dells they will end a model and not make an updated bios for newer windows. if you have the newest bios check in the bios that secure boot is off to let the usb stick post. also use windows iso to usb tool or windows media creation tool to see if it a bad iso. also try another usb stick.
