   Disabling WIFI & Bluetooth

   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).
