Hi @4rn,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
Accessing the advanced options in the BIOS of an HP 15 Laptop can be a bit tricky. However, there are ways to potentially access these options, though it's worth noting that doing so can void warranties or cause system instability if not done correctly. Here are the steps you can follow.
Step-by-Step Guide
Restart Your Laptop:
- Begin by restarting your HP 15 laptop.
Enter BIOS Setup:
- As soon as your laptop starts to power on, repeatedly press the Esc key. This will bring up the Startup Menu.
- From the Startup Menu, press the F10 key to enter the BIOS Setup.
Accessing Advanced Options (If Available):
- In some BIOS versions, pressing F10 directly takes you to the main BIOS menu where some advanced options might already be visible.
- If advanced options are not immediately visible, try pressing Ctrl + F10 or Ctrl + F11 to unlock hidden advanced settings. This key combination works on some HP laptops but not all.
Alternative Method:
- If the above steps do not work, another method is to update the BIOS to the latest version from the HP support website. Sometimes newer BIOS versions provide more options.
- Go to the HP Support Website and enter your laptop’s model number. Download and install the latest BIOS update available for your model.
Using BIOS Configuration Software:
- Some advanced users may use specific software tools designed to edit BIOS settings. Tools like AMIBCP (for AMI BIOS) or UEFITool can sometimes expose hidden settings, but using these tools requires a deep understanding of BIOS architecture and can be risky.
BIOS Reset and Default Options:
- If all else fails, you can reset the BIOS to its default settings. While this may not directly reveal advanced options, it can sometimes change the behavior of the BIOS.
- To reset the BIOS, enter the BIOS Setup using the F10 key, go to the Exit tab, and select Load Setup Defaults. Save the changes and exit.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
