New Computer Setup graphical interface
The Computer Setup ("F10 Setup") user interface is now graphical, with variable-width text, drop-down boxes for item
selection, and mouse support.

Computer Setup is available in 14 languages: English, German, Spanish, Italian, French, Japanese, Portuguese, Danish,
Finnish, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, simplified Chinese, and traditional Chinese. The keyboard layout can now be
configured independently of the language.
Boot modes
The M60 BIOS has separate grouped enable settings for UEFI boot options and legacy boot options.
Legacy support and Secure Boot are now combined in a single setting, in the Advanced menu.
The option ROM launch policy has also been combined in a single setting, with the following options: "all UEFI", "all
legacy", and "all UEFI except video". The last option is useful for running Windows 7 in UEFI mode.
NVMe support
The M60 BIOS natively supports booting from NVM Express (NVMe), which allows PCI-Express-based Solid-State Drives
(SSDs). NVMe provides greatly improved performance compared to AHCI, the interface used by SATA drives.
Network BIOS update
Network BIOS update allows users or administrators to download and install BIOS updates from remote servers, within
Computer Setup. It also allows administrators to set up automatic checks for updates at programmable intervals, e.g.
weekly. Administrators can set up their own update servers and update policy.
Details on network BIOS update are available in appendix B of the technical white paper called "HP Business Notebook
and Desktop PC F10 Setup overview", available at h20195.www2.hp.com/V2/GetPDF.aspx/4AA5-2078ENW.pdf.
