Help needed -
I have an HP envy 17t-s000 CTO laptop, which has been running windows 7 professional for the last 2.5 years perfectly.
This past week I updated the BIOS from InsydeH2O F.80 to the most recent version (F.96 Rev.A). I did not realize when installing the newer update, that it failed to work with windows 7 professional.
I have now had to upload windows 10 to my laptop, which is not useable in the work that I do. I have been attempting for the last 8 days to restore the original BIOS (F.80), and then run windows 7 again, but to no avail.
I have receive 2 error messages whenever attempting to use windows 7 professional . . .
1) "The BIOS in this system is not fully ACPI compliant . . . *** STOP: OXOOOOOOA5 . . ."
2) Boot device not found. Please install an operating system on your hard disk (3F0).
I have been able to locate a few suggested repairs online this past week, but almost all of them say that I should go to the "Advanced options" in the InsydeH2O BIOS utility. However, this is hidden, and I have found no one who lists how to unlock these "Advanced" features.
I am not very familiar with the technical aspects of exactly what has happened, with updating to the newer version (F.96 Rev.A) from HP,
but I would greatly appreciate help in restoring this laptop to its correct working order with windows 7 professional.
Thank you sincerely for your help.
