There is no public BIOS editor for Insyde ROMs.

Look online for hidden hotkey combos like CTRL+F1 in the BIOS screen.

Or maybe:

Power off the laptop. Power button to turn on → F2 to enter the normal BIOS → Power button to turn off → then press the following keys in sequence:

F1 → 1 → Q → A → Z
F2 → 2 → W → S → X
F3 → 3 → E → D → C
F4 → 4 → R → F → V
F5 → 5 → T → G → B
F6 → 6 → Y → H → N

Power button to turn on → F2 to enter the BIOS which should now have an "Advanced" tab.

Or maybe just use ThrottleStop if you trying to change CPU settings.

To activate the Debug Bios:

Enter BIOS → disable OneKeyBattery → save and exit. Poweroff the laptop. Power button to turn on → F2 to enter the normal BIOS → Power button to turn off → then press, moving fast, the following keys in sequence

F1 → 1 → Q → A → Z
F2 → 2 → W → S → X
F3 → 3 → E → D → C
F4 → 4 → R → F → V
F5 → 5 → T → G → B
F6 → 6 → Y → H → N

Turn on the power button → F2 enters the hidden Debug BIOS.

Then go to;
Advanced → Power & Performance → CPU-Power Management Control → CPU Lock Configuration → CFG Lock → Disabled

Then go to;
Advanced → System Agent (SA) Configuration → Graphic Configuration → DVMT Pre-Allocated Selection → DVMT Pre-Allocated → Set to 160MB

save and exit.

There is a lot of customizable in the Debug Bios, just change the two points CPU-Lock & Graphic DVMT !!!!
With other points you break the system.

If it doesn't work, look in this page for a possible BIOS editor.
