Acer Travelmate 8573TG BIOS Menu Swap

[killer23d]

Like other machines in 2012 era (Sony in particular), these laptops have UEFI but there is no way to disable it in the BIOS. I can't re-install Windows 10 or Linux using CSM as these auto detects UEFI but will ended up freezing.

I can see that in PlatformSetupAdvanced , the options are there. The problem is that the Advanced menu is not available at all in the BIOS. Only INFORMATION, MAIN, SECURITY, BOOT and EXIT are available. I am planning to swap the INFORMATION or SECURITY for ADVANCED so that I can disable UEFI/CSM and maybe other hidden options.

I tried to find the pages for the tabs and planned to change the tab ID but it's quite cryptic.

I have the HM65 chipset. Any help to have this modded will be awesome. Thanks!
