Advanced settings in Bios

[Bachlor]

Hello ,

I want to activate the AHCI i my PC so i need to enter the advanced settings in the Bios and set the IDE to AHCI , i could't do that because i didn't find advanced in the menu , i tried F10 , F10+A , Fn+tab 3 times and reboot into Bios , etc.....

The version of my Bios is F.17 HP insydeH20 rev 3.5

Can you help me please ?

I reviewed your post and I understand that you are unable to enter the advanced settings in the BIOS.

Don’t worry, I assure you I will try my best to get this sorted.

I would like to inform you that there are no advanced settings in the BIOS or a hidden BIOS menu. The options that you see when you enter the BIOS are the only settings you can change or modify.

There's no way of resetting or changing these settings via HP articles or assistance,

You could unlock and make changes at your own discretion using 3rd party tools, however, HP doesn't recommend the same nor has information about the tools used

I hope that answers your question and you have a great day!
