Is the technique listed in  http://community.acer.com/t5/Notebooks-Netbooks/Advanced-BIOS-settings-for-Aspire-E1-522/td-p/151267 portable to other Acer UEFI BIOS crippled laptops? Primarily th E5-421G. Is BIOS crippling restricted to Acer, quite angry that I cant boot a 64bit VM due to this crippling. Is there any other way to enable virtualization extensions and disable completely the discrete graphic units?

Changing 0x21b and 0x21c to 1 had no effect unfortunately, perhaps different location on E5-421G 

How can I determine the location to enable the advanced menu?

Phew, wasnt able to turn on the advanced menu but did managed to enable SVM virtualiation by flipping the bit at 0xf4. This is on E5-421G, at least I can get some use out of it now. 

Thanks acer for the crippled laptop, it will surely be my last Acer purchase.
