    As the title suggests, I need to mod my BIOS (I'm using a HP EliteBook 8760w) to be able to upgrade to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980M. The thing is, I don't know anything about such stuff, and when searching for relevant results on Google, I find almost nothing.

    Consider these two brilliant posts relevant to my problem:
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...w-and-970m-6gb-and-980m-8gb-they-work.786791/
    http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/8770w-compatible-video-cards.795753/

    If you can, please bring @artpra himself to this thread, as he will know best what to do in my case. I'm not even sure if I HAVE to mod my BIOS (very dangerous and scary procedure). Otherwise, please post a detailed walkthrough as to how I can achieve my end goal - MXM GPU upgrade. If it's just a matter of performance, I'm not touching BIOS, I'm so scared that I'll brick my device. Please help!
