Hello I came here to know how I can toggle into advanced mod in my HP NoteBook (15-ay007nf) BIOS (InsydeH20 Setup Utility).
I want to set my graphic card (AMD Radeon R5 m330) as default because I need it to use some softwares or little games, and the chipset of the processor is too weak.
I already tried to set my graphic card as default on the dekstop (right click and radeon settings) but I can't. I precise that the graphic card is recognized and works but I think that it's impossible to use it without entering the BIOS.
I watched many videos to activate the advanced mod in BIOS, using a few techniques like fn + tab three times, f9 and f10, etc... I tried everything and it's still not impossible to go into this mod.
So my question is : Do you have an idea to activate the advanced mod ?
PS : I'm french so if you can reply with the easiest possible words it would be nice ! 🙂

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.

Hello WAWood,
Thank you for your answer.
Do you know if it's possible to set my GPU as default with another way ?
And I saw on youtube that some people could activate the advanced mod with a HP PC with the same BIOS as mine.
