Hello!
I want to switch my BIOS to UEFI because I want to overclock my CPU and the current BIOS I am using has no Clock features, and hp doesn't have BIOS updates for win 10 so this is my only option. I was just about to follow a walkthrough I found on google to do the switch as I stumbled upon this text "make sure to check your device manufacturer's support website to find out if the hardware includes support for UEFI before using these instructions."
Please help me determine whether it supports or not 🙂

Greetings,
Welcome to the forum.
I am not a HP employee.
Only newer PC's can run a UEFI BIOS.
Your PC was released for sale in 2010. It does not support a UEFI BIOS.
Anyway, HP does not provide BIOS overclocking features on either your Legacy BIOS PC or newer UEFI BIOS PCs.
Some HP Omen and Obelisk PC's have overclocking options in software HP provides with these PCs.
