ASUS TUF A15 Missing UEFI Options

Hello, I got an 2023 TUF A15 in Turkey. I don't know the model number however this isn't specific to my TUF either, My friend's 2022 TUF suffers from the same problem in a different way.

So where to start...

This is my BIOS/UEFI, as you can see there are a lot missing. Normally if my TUF was the same with my friend's I wouldn't care because despite him also missing the same options, his TUF came with some important things enabled by default such as TPM 2.0 and KVM. I don't have much use for TPM 2.0 since I'm on Linux, however lacking KVM is a dealbreaker because I can not emulate Windows in my system which forces me to install Windows on a separate drive just to play 2 games that happens to not work on Linux.

I am assuming this is a regional problem. Can't have **** in Turkey. So, what should I do about this? Is there a way to enable KVM manually? Like at this point I'm willing to brick my PC trying to mess with BIOS. Or is it possible to yank the UEFI firmware from a same model TUF from another country? I know you can flash BIOS, but I am unsure if that would brick it.

Anyways, I'm ready for the worst. If it's impossible, just say it. Just know that I am not afraid of experimenting and possibly bricking. Thank you for your assistance.

Hello,

Your best option is to contact ASUS and ask them if there is a BIOS update that has support for AMD-V / SVM.

Information is a little vague due to the years that have passed by but they were some issues at the time with AMD-V / IOMMU not quite working.

Sent, thank you for the suggestion!
