very straight forward question;
is it even possible to update or ‘unlock’ the microcode(s) for this BIOS
and if it is, can someone pls help me?
i believe it is currently locked to ONLY a few supported CPU’s and i would appreciate it very much if it can do any ryzen CPU (with max 65W tdp).
to be more specifically: if someone can make it update to support a Ryzen 3 1300X (is a 65W part) you’d make my day.
An HP system… well sir you can add/remove any mcu but not “Unlock” an mcu.
CPU model support will be according the OEM board design and/or bios/mb locks that prevents it.
it is not my main rig/system. i was wondering if its possible. and you seemingly say, it could be possible.
now the follow up question;
how do i go over this i.e. is there a guide somewhere that i could follow to add mcu (microcode)? and if so, maybe can you (or anyone) link it?

HP bioses are mostly InsydeH20 core design, not too much tools around, HEX edit is always a choice… a small user error…blank screen.
AMD AGESA also a troublemaker in AMD platform mods…
Also usually HP mods require an SPI programmer, like a cheap CH341A device or similar.
