    No sense at all, a simple SATA standard drive and nice model SEC EVO... very unusual, not OEM PCs related to blame, indeed some OEMs have some customized motherboards/bios but were talking about a 2017 system
    with a SATA standard SSD, just for curiosity do you even have access to bios (ESC or F10) and/or UEFI HP Diag) when the EVO is the only connected drive on the system or just freeze before any post?

    EDIT: Yes...unreal, a quick web search on the "Willow 2 motherboard upgrades" resulted in Crucial website having SSDs avaiable for this system upgrade...
    well all the best for your friend issue, cheers.

    Yes, it freeze before any post, unreal. I then put an old WD or new WD (red 2TB) and they work. I can believe this, let me tell you I am a Cisco Academy Trainer and have been lecturing at College here in Australia. We did have HP desktops, I will say no more. The same to DELL and ACER. It is all done for a price. That is why I build my own whenever I do. What else can I say..................the access to the BIOS is there and it appears a modified or customized American Megatrends, it does says that on the very bottom. Compared to a real or complete AMI is a very condensed version and useless. Thanks anyway, I told my friend to use the USB 3 and when he has money I will build a proper one. By the way, this new EVO SSD has WIN 11 Enterprise and we boot this HP crap from USB 3 with no dramas. So the SSD is functional.
    NOTE: this machine 2017 NEVER came with an SSD in the first place, never, it only had the standard elector mechanical drive.

    I found in internet that installed bios is AMI. It's matter for those who unlocks bios. I need to access all advanced features of bios.

    This means that the BIOS is of the Compaq type.
    Haven't seen any guide on these. :(

    Hi all, I know this thread concern old devices. But I also have 2 Compaq NC6400 under Win10, I wanna update bios on them with slic 2.6 to install Windows server instead. I used Andy tool previously to add slic 2.6 on asus bios without any issue. But for ROMPAQ, I only have ADCC tool to modify BIOS and I don,'t know if it's possible to update SLIC with this tool. Does anyone know how to do that ?
