hi all of you! question in the title. since 2020 intel phased out any support for CSM legacy mode, and UEFI 3.0 only is the rule. BUT some of us (I included) still need CSM/Legacy Mode - I won't elaborate here why etc.

I'm not sure, are "freedos 3.0" from HP laptops that retained this Legacy option?

If intel stopped in 2020, AMD, while encouraging UEFI (as not all but almost everybody on the planet) seems to keep this CSM/Legacy option possible until Ryzen 7 (but would have discontinued this with Ryzen 9). Depends on the bios of course.

So please, your help is much appreciated about : a NEW laptop 15.6 Ryzen 7 CSM/Legacy mode possible in Bios, with possibly 2 M.2 nvme slots inside. It would be great. I don't mention real buttons on the touchpad, it won't - sadly but probably - be possible... If HP does not provide one, I think it's really the end, since I asked other brands, even kind-of DIY linux laptops, and their answer was No.Thanks a lot!
