Hi @Amir106,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

To unlock advanced BIOS features on your HP Pavilion Gaming 15, you typically need to follow a few steps, but keep in mind that these steps can vary based on your specific model and BIOS version. Here’s a general guide.

Accessing BIOS

1. Power Off the Laptop: Ensure your laptop is completely turned off.
2. Turn On the Laptop: Power it on and immediately start pressing the Esc key repeatedly until the Startup Menu appears.
3. Enter BIOS Setup: Press F10 to enter the BIOS Setup utility.

Unlocking Advanced Features

1. Enter BIOS Setup: Once you're in the BIOS setup, you may need to find the settings related to advanced features.
2. Check for Advanced Settings: Look for a tab or menu labeled something like "Advanced", "Advanced Mode", or "Configuration". If these options are not visible, it may be necessary to access a hidden menu or use a specific key combination.

Enable Advanced Features

Unlock Hidden Features: Sometimes, advanced features are hidden and can be unlocked by a special key sequence or by modifying certain settings. This may not be officially supported, so proceed with caution. The steps can include:

• Modifying BIOS Password: Some BIOS setups have hidden features that can be accessed by setting or changing the BIOS password.
• BIOS Updates: Ensure your BIOS is updated to the latest version, as newer versions might unlock additional settings.

Save and Exit: After making any changes, navigate to the "Save & Exit" option to apply the changes and reboot the laptop.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
