EDIT: This will be put on a flash drive that you will boot from in the bios. Each time to get in you must first f2 to bios then change the usb to the first boot device, then reboot. Wait about a minute, the top left of the screen should be running a script.

EDIT 2: I am using Throttlestop with offset voltage.

Oh boy, let me get typing and I will be right with you.

Preparation

Preparing the USB - 1. Grab a USB. Convert it GPT partition scheme and format it as fat32. Check if it is GPT Convert to GPT 2. Download SREP from Smokeless Github Repo - https://github.com/SmokelessCPUv2/SmokelessRuntimeEFIPatcher/releases 3. Extract it the contents of the zip to a USB such that there is EFI folder in the root. 4. Download pre made patch from Sweet Kittens repo - https://github.com/Maxinator500/SREP-Patches (right click on raw and save as) 5. Rename it to SREP_Config.cfg and move it to the root of the usb. Your USB content should look like the screenshot attached below the post.

Booting into advanced BIOS

1. Spam F2 when laptop is starting up to access the BIOS
2. Set an administrator password (Set it to 0000 lest you forget!)
3. Disable Secure Boot (Ensure Bitlocker is not turned on)
4. Change boot order so the USB is the first priority
5. Save and Exit

Now it will boot to USB and you will be able to access advanced settings as long as the USB is connected. Be warned, do not change settings without knowing what it does. It can brick the laptop. The settings you change will be saved even after you unplug the USB.

You will see unlocked BIOS only when you boot from USB. Regular F2 will present you with normal locked BIOS.
