Planning to upgrade pc parts.How to know if my BIOS is locked

Solution
Sadly HP's BOIS are usually blocked and it's really difficult to upgrade your parts.

These are the parts you can upgrade for sure: RAM, HDD, SSD, PSU

The GPU is the most annoying component to upgrade on Kaili motherboards. Just i know they have prroblems with GTX 900 series and many AMD R9 asnd R7 cards, expecially with those based on a fairly new GCN version (Hawaii, Fiji and so on).

What can you do? If the new GPU works correctly, just be happy. If it doesn'ty you will need to replace your motherboard and probably also your case.
