Today, a few days before the programmer arrives, i found a video on YouTube with 300 views titled 'Acer Swift 3 SF314-42 Ryzen 4000 Series Laptop Run BIOS Advance MODE' showing the BIOS unlock code for that laptop. Acer forums were unhelpful and got me frustrated enough to the point that i ordered an SPI-programmer and SOIC8 clip to dump my BIOS and manually find and enable the Advanced tab from it's memory address.

I, like many others accidentally stumbled into a second Advanced tab in my BIOS after adding a new stick of RAM, but then was never able to access it again. r/windows10 Please read the sidebar, and use this form when asking for advice :D Please do not ask for reccomendations in mod-mail.
