I've been trying for so long to access the advanced tab in the bios and can't seem to find it. Is there something I'm missing? I believe I have done the same handful of methods over and over again. Is there truly no way to get it or am I not doing something correctly?

The result you are getting is likely more about your computer model than your process.
The BIOS in consumer grade machines does not include the Advanced section.
The BIOS Advanced section is available in Business class / commercial systems.
