Product: HP 15-db1096ur

Hello, I want to access advanced BIOS options in HP 15-db1096ur. BIOS is lastest. A + F10 don`t work. Please, help.

I read other questions and I had one else question. Which models or lines of laptops have access to advanced BIOS?

Exist an unofficial way to unlock?

OEMs lock out the advanced BIOS options to prevent customers from making changes to options that can destabilize or otherwise damgage the PC -- and then send it back for repair under warranty claiming they did nothing to it.

I know only SOME of the advanced options are risky, but it's simpler to disable access to ALL advanced options than to allow/disallow on an individual option basis.

That's the course of action that HP has chosen.
