Product: OMEN by HP Laptop 15-dc0xxx
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I want to clean format my laptop so I downloaded a win10 iso and make my flashdrive bootable. Then, i encountered this problem "windows cannot be installed to this disk ensure disk controller is enabled in bios" and need to change the SATA mode but I cant find advance tab in the bios ( also discovered that its not possible to unlock this feature OOOFFF). how can i install my win10 in my OMEN laptop in another way?

@jasmium 

The BIOS Advanced tab is locked out by HP -- so you are not going to be able to use that.

 

If your PC is a recent model and came with Win10 already preloaded, then it was probably configured to use UEFI and that means the install media also has to be bootable using UEFI.
