Hello HP Community,

I’m using an HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop 15-ec0xxx with an AMD Ryzen 5 3550H, and I’m currently on BIOS version F.20. I’d like to request guidance or support for accessing advanced BIOS options (such as power management, CPU core control, memory tuning, etc.).

I understand that some options are hidden by default for system stability, but I’m hoping for:

  • A way to unlock the advanced BIOS tab (officially or with a service tool)

  • Or a custom BIOS version with extended options

  • Or at least a confirmation if unlocking these options is officially not possible

I’ve already tried:

  • The Fn + Tab trick in BIOS (didn’t work)

  • Updating to the latest BIOS version

  • Using tools like HWiNFO, ThrottleStop, etc.

This is purely for optimization and experimentation — I’m aware of the risks and would accept responsibility.

Would HP consider unlocking this (even temporarily) or provide a service advisory?

Thanks in advance!
