Bios password

[Mralexandru]

Hi, I have an HP OMEN that came with win 10 and now I want to install win 11

But I need to enable temp in the bios.

I tried getting into the bios but I need to enter a password and I don't remember setting up an password.

The laptop was given to my by my parents as a gift.

Thanks!

Hi:

Unfortunately, no one can help you remove the BIOS password.

You can install W11 on your notebook with the TPM 2.0 security device disabled, but you will have to use a workaround to do so.

Watch this video, which is the easiest way to do an in-place upgrade to W11 in my opinion, and I have tried many different ways to do this during the last 3 years.

Download the W24H2 ISO file and use that (3rd option).

Download Windows 11

You can download the free 7-Zip file utility from the link below. The top line is for 64 bit.

You'll have to repeat this procedure if and when Microsoft rolls out the new W11 builds because a PC that does not meet Microsoft's minimum W11 hardware requirements will never automatically get the update to the next build.

They have been releasing new W11 builds each October so far.

Other than that, your PC will continue to get the monthly cumulative and other updates.

That's only a minor inconvenience to have continued OS support beyond October of 2025.

If things don't work right on W11, you have 10 days to easily go back to W10 as long as you don't delete the W1 upgrade files or the Windows.old folder.
