I was given a HP all in 1 pc with a 10 point 23" touchscreen, it has a Haswell i5 cpu and ssd, im a born tinkerer and would love to open up the units full possibilities in the bios as its pretty basic as with all shop bought pcs.

It runs absolutely mint, from pushing power to loading windows is 5 seconds flat, however i know it has so much more potential as ive looked inside its bios with AMIBCP. there are literally hundreds of locked settings that i dont know how to enable, its an american megatrends bios.

this is the machine: https://support.hp.com/gb-en/drivers/sel...1/model/8587627 HP Pavilion All-in-One - 23-q055na

Could someone give me any pointers on how to achieve this?

Cheers.

@POE_UK - Start here Unless you have flash programmer, and it may still come to that too. if you have flash programmer, you can ignore below if you want, dump BIOS and send to me
What is your ROM Family SSID? You should see this I think, if you run the stock BIOS Flash update tool. I need to know this, so I can download the correct stock BIOS for your system (There is two BIOS for different system at the link you gave)

An H81 microboard. Onboard GPU, x1 SATA port, x1 m.2 slot, x2 dimms and supports 35w Haswell T.

What are you hoping to achieve?

This ones got 2 sata ports, haswell quad core hd4600 graphics, think ill take out the m.2 wifi card and fit an ssd in its place, would a 2242 sized one fit you think? its a surprisingly fast computer, the cpu cooling solution seems pretty decent and is very quiet. i think the cpu can be upgraded to an i7 as well. as it sits now it totally destroys my old amd fx 8300

@POE_UK - please see post #2, do that with FPT and let me know outcome. Do you have flash programmer or not?

Toothache, bloody toothache cant think straight atm.
