Enabling AHCI Mode

[adithya-n]

I want to replace the existing hard drive in my laptop with a solid state drive. While reserching about this, i learned that i need to change the SATA Mode from IDE to AHCI Mode. I tried to find this setting in my BIOS but i was not able to find it. I would appreciate if you could help me with this.
Thanks!

Hi:

The drive controller in your notebook is already set to AHCI at the factory, and cannot be changed in the BIOS.

Does this answer support to the HP omen 2016? Even I have the same doubt and cant find AHCI mode in BIOS mode.
