Product: HP Notebook 15bg004AU
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I've been working with my HP Notebook past 5 years and decided to upgrade my RAM from 4 GB to 12 GB by adding an extra 8 GB stick. My Processor is AMD A8-7410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics. The Radeon R5 Graphics in my laptop is an integrated GPU which takes 1 GB of RAM as VRAM. Earlier it used to take 512 MB of RAM as VRAM for Dedicated GPU Memory. I want to access the Advanced BIOS Settings so that I can access the UMA Buffer Size setting, but unfortunately I am unable to get the Advanced BIOS Tab. I've tried all the possible methods listed on google, HP's support pages and few YouTube guides to get the same but it didn't work. Is there anything which I should know in order to access the Advanced BIOS Tab? Please suggest any measure so that I can access the full BIOS mode.

Any discussion upon this question would be a grateful!

 

My Laptop's Specifications:

HP Notebook 15bg004AU

RAM: 12 GB DDR3 SODIMM 1600 MHz (4+8)

CPU: AMD A8-7410 APU with AMD Radeon R5 Graphics  ~2.20 GHz Base Frequency (4 Cores, 4 Threads)

GPU: AMD Radeon R5 Graphics (Integrated)

256 GB Crucial BX500 SATA SSD + 1 TB WD HDD 5400 rpm

Since I do not have access to the same model as yours, please note that not all BIOS are able to use the Advanced BIOS features because some of the BIOS is locked by HP.  That is because they do not want the user poking around.  Usually if that is the case, they they will stay that way.
