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
- Power Off the Laptop: Ensure your laptop is completely turned off.
- Turn On the Laptop: Power it on and immediately start pressing the Esc key repeatedly until the Startup Menu appears.
- Enter BIOS Setup: Press F10 to enter the BIOS Setup utility.
Unlocking Advanced Features
- Enter BIOS Setup: Once you're in the BIOS setup, you may need to find the settings related to advanced features.
- 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.
