Boots about to be sad.

 

Not hidden - BIOS > Advanced section is not usually available on HP consumer systems.

You need a business class computer to access Advanced section / options.

 

HP Note

BIOS configurations vary depending on the computer. For further information on a specific computer, refer to the documentation provided with the computer or go to the appropriate document for your PC.
