Hi @JimTWest3,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

Thanks for your question, Regarding BIOS bifurcation support on your HP Pavilion Gaming Desktop PC TG01-2000a (2Z6E2AV):

What Is Bifurcation?

PCIe bifurcation allows a single PCIe slot to split its lanes (e.g., x16 into x8/x8 or x4/x4/x4/x4) to support multiple devices like NVMe SSDs via a riser card. This feature is typically found in workstation or enthusiast-grade motherboards.

HP Pavilion TG01 BIOS Limitations

HP consumer desktops, including the TG01 series, generally have limited BIOS customization. Based on HP’s official documentation and support tools:

• The BIOS does not expose bifurcation settings.
• HP does not officially support PCIe lane splitting on this model.
• The BIOS is designed for stability and compatibility, not advanced PCIe configurations.

What You Can Do

If you're trying to use multiple NVMe drives or a PCIe riser card:

• You may be able to use a PCIe switch-based adapter (which handles bifurcation internally).

I hope this helps.

Take care and have an amazing day!
