Product: notebook 15-da001-4dx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

hello, 

I play games on my Hp 15-da001-4dx laptop.. I have come to know that I can increase my VRAM memory up to 2GB using the advanced settings on BIOS. But the advanced settings are locked... I have tried 2 methods: 1)Shut down the unit. Press the power button once. 2)Press the F10 key to enter BIOS during boot. 3)Press immediately the A key (for "Advanced") (or) --Boot into BIOS --Press 3 times Fn+Tab --Reboot into BIOS.. but still the advanced settings are locked. how can I unlock them? my BIOS version is F.33(InsybeH20).. I really need to unlock the advanced settings in BIOS...

Sorry, but apart from business notebooks and some high-end gaming PCs, 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.
