Remember: On every motherboard it's different, have a look around, if you can't find the right ones or are confused, feel free to open a ticket.

Check

How to make sure SB is off? WIN+R , type MSINFO32, click Enter. And you will see Secure boot is off right here :

How to make sure TPM is off WIN+R , type tpm.msc and click enter, Should say : Compatible TPM cannot be found.

How to make sure Virtualization is off Right click on task bar, click Task Manager Click on Performance, CPU and check Virtualization:

All Motherboards (WIFI in bios)

Confirm your hardware: Before proceeding, ensure your computer has built-in Wi-Fi and/or Bluetooth else skip this step! (Good way to check that is if your motherboard name ends with "Wi-Fi")

If you're using external USB dongle or PCIE Network card, you need to remove them.

They are not spoof-able must be fully unplugged or replaced!

Locate wireless settings in BIOS:

Navigate through BIOS menus to find settings related to peripherals, wireless, or onboard devices. This might be under headings like:

• "Advanced"

• "Onboard Devices Configuration"

• "Integrated Peripherals"

• "Wireless"

Disable WiFi and Bluetooth:

• Look for options labeled "Wireless LAN" or "WiFi" and "Bluetooth" or "WIFI Controller". or "WIFI/BT" or "WAN RADIO"

• Change their status to "Disabled" or toggle them off.

Save changes

Save your changes and exit BIOS (usually F10 or a designated "Save and Exit" option).
