Hello.
I made the mistake of updating to the latest version of bios 2.33. Now my computer takes several minutes to boot.
I need to install bios version 2.28, but the traditional method does not allow it.
Could you help me on how to install this old bios. Thank you.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi:
You have two ways to resolve the problem:
1. Reinstall W10 by booting the installation media from the EFI USB flash drive instead of the legacy one.
2. Hide the embedded security device (TPM) in the BIOS.
You will not be able to use BitLocker if you hide the embedded security device.
Below is the link to the service manual:
Chapter 2, page 10 has the location of this BIOS setting.
Device Security
Allows you to set Device Available/Device Hidden (default is Device Available) for:
● Embedded security device
