IDK whats going on with my bios? 5 months ago when i tried to enabl virtualization in my bios i easily did it.But now idk why there is no option for that.The bios looks completely biferent  there is no any advancd options that i saw before.The reason i entered my bios is to increase my vram  to play games. i dont mean the games wont run but the game are verry stuttery and crashes a lot its coz of low v ram. i was about to buy GTX 1650 SUPER but cz of lockdown the store is closed. I am in a odd situation idk what m saying but i am in trouble.i found this image online whis exactly looks the same like when i enter the bios

Welcome to HP Community

I have gone through your Post and I understand your concerns

HP Pc’s uses a customized BIOS setting (Tattooed BIOS) of which some features including overclocking, Virtualization and increasing the VRAM are locked.

This is done in the best interest of safeguarding the PC for the optimal performance and not to cause any extensive component failure.

To conclude, the VRAM on your PC is already shared with a specific value and its locked and cannot be changed.

Hope the information shared will help you.

Thank you

Thanks for answering! Before i pick this as solution i have a question to ask.

You said "HP Pc’s uses a customized BIOS setting (Tattooed BIOS) of which some features including overclocking, Virtualization and increasing the VRAM are locked." is there a way to unlock it? or its locked permanently?

" This is done in the best interest of safeguarding the PC for the optimal performance" i get it but i want the maximum performance out of my pc!

Unfortunately for Consumer PC or Notebooks, the BIOS is locked permanently and customers cannot make certain changes

In certain HP Commercial PC ( Business PC ), the BIOS usually is unlock and  that is when customers can make changes in BIOS
