HP Recommended
Product: HP OMEN BY HP 17 an104ng
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I bought this OMEN by HP 17-an104ng Gaming laptop when there were no RTX laptops in the market. It came with the latest 8th gen i7 processor at the moment of purchase. Specs below:

CPU: Intel Core i7-8750H 
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 (6GB GDDR5)
DISPLAY: 17.3”, Full HD (1920 x 1080), 144 Hz, IPS + G-Sync
STORAGE: 250GB SSD + 1000GB HDD
RAM: 16GB DDR4, 2666 MHz

BIOS TYPE AMI(OEM)
BIOS Version F.10
SMBIOS Version 3.2
UEFI Boot Yes
System BIOS Date 11/21/2019

CHIPSET- South Bridge Intel Cannon Point HM370


It has a very basic UEFI BIOS by AMI (aptio soft) that only allows me to change virtualization and some boot options, nothing more. This is kinda joke from HP. C'mon even some budget HP laptops come with Advanced Settings enabled. We have no access to overclocking, undervolting options, XMP profiles. Even more frustrating thing, UHD 630 iGPU was disabled in factory and there's no access from BIOS. I saw many people complaining on HP support forums and there are no satisfying answers. No recent BIOS updates. 
I am planning to utilize this laptop for multiple OSs, including Linux and with GTX1060 pass through in VM for my IT studies.

I need 2 things.
1. ADVANCED Settings in BIOS/UEFI enabled (most needed)

2. Access Intel UHD630 graphics (I paid for the whole product why is it even locked?!)

Thanks.
