    I know you are frustrated but be mindful of your language.

    I do not want to see your account get caught up in the suspension queue. To stay compliant, I have edited your post to keep it clean.

    ===========

    Anyway, BIOS is the device's firmware, it has nothing to do with Windows. So if the lock is on the BIOS, this is not the forum for you. You need to contact manufacturer support. And yes they do typically want purchase proof, but I also cannot speak on behalf of them. Reach out to them first and see what other options they offer.
