Product: Hp Envy x360 15
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I want to access my BIOS advanced tab because my ram is set to 128mb and I have 16gb of ram installed, I've tried the regedit way by creating a new folder under intel and naming it GMM and placing a new dword 32bit file and calling it DedicatedSegmentSize setting it to decimal value and setting it to 2048, but it doesn't work.

 

The BIOS is Insyde f15 and none of the f10+a or f1+esc work to unlock the advanced options!

 

WHats the key combination to unl;ock the advanced options for Insyde bios?

Sorry, but accessing Advanced BIOS option on HP PCs is not possible.

Some OEMs lock out the advanced BIOS options to prevent customers from making changes to options that can destabilize or otherwise damage the PC -- and then send it back for repair under warranty claiming they did nothing to it.

I know only SOME of the advanced options are risky, but it's simpler to disable access to ALL advanced options than to allow/disallow on an individual option basis.

That's the course of action that HP has chosen.

Thank you for responding to my question, I just wanted to know if it was possible thanks for telling me it's not possible because it's restricted by HP.
