@samilol, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding advanced BIOS!
We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.
Most HP consumer desktops, including the Pavilion Gaming series, have a locked-down BIOS, meaning advanced settings are limited for system stability and security.
Out of curiosity—what settings are you looking to change? Sometimes, there are alternative ways to achieve what you need without unlocking advanced BIOS. If it's for overclocking, virtualization, fan control, or something else, let me know! I’d be happy to explore other solutions with you. 😊
Looking forward to your response!
Take care, and have an amazing day!
