Hi @User1969,
Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Thanks for reaching out!
Sorry for the inconvenience caused, However please note that on Pavilion series laptops, HP often restricts advanced BIOS features to prevent accidental misconfiguration. If the advanced tab doesn’t appear, it may simply not be available for this model.
- Update BIOS: Ensure your BIOS is updated to the latest version (you mentioned F.28). You can check HP’s support website https://support.hp.com/in-en/drivers for updates specific to your product number (F5B78EA).
I hope this helps.

Hello. Updating the Bios is a waste of time if the Bios itself has a stripped-down interface, before giving advice, read the question carefully. You: **If the extended tab does not appear, it may simply not be available for this model**, I asked how to get an extended version of the BIOS, not an update Thank you
