Hi, I've been planning to attempt to install an unlocked BIOS on my HP Beats Special Edition 15-p030nr so I could have Overclocking and CPU/APU Tweaking capabilities that aren't in the stock BIOS. Honestly this would be my first time doing this, and this laptop is a throwaway laptop that I'm just trying to refresh for current gen games. I couldn't find a link to the current BIOS installed on the device but I do have a link to the latest BIOS, let me know if I need to update the BIOS first before installing a Custom BIOS. Please do tell if you need anything more to complete the request
