Product: HP Pavilion Gaming 16-a0001ur (15D16EA)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello! Nobody knows how to enter the Advanced BIOS on the HP Pavilion Gaming 16-a0001ur (15D16EA) laptop? Ask why do I need this? And I need it because I replaced the RAM on the laptop with SO-DIMM 8Gb DDR4 PC24000 / 3000MHz ADATA XPG and the problem is that it runs at 2667MHz, while the RAM that was originally installed in the laptop worked on frequency 2933MHz. If possible, HELP ME, I will be very grateful.

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.
