At least there’s a help text. All my BIOS ever says is:
That's still help text, even if it isn't very helpful. I was installing to an older laptop recently that had no help for most BIOS options at all, plus I found a forum post on the manufacturer's website indicating that even they had no documentation for those settings. (Naturally, it was made by HP.)
Your bios has options? I still cant access my nvme drive because hp doesnt let you change the bios to use ahci
I have such a shitty BIOS. It is pain, because the option ought to be there, but the software is so incredibly basic that it exposes virtually no useful settings outside of time and date + boot order.
