Newsmay AC8 Mini PC BIOS
The American Megatrends BIOS of Newsmay AC8 Mini PC is not rich in features and options, without too many items. There are 4 tabs in settings, with a few options each: Main, Security, Boot, Save & Exit.

I have made a BIOS back-up of Newsmay AC8 Mini PC, you can download it from . I advise everyone to make a copy of a working BIOS, if possible, before doing BIOS experiments. To do that you can simple use the provided Aptio AfuWin64 software. If you disabled USB in the BIOS, or if you did another mess in device BIOS, only overwriting NVRAM can reset BIOS settings. In this way, there is no need to open the case, to teardown the device to be able to reset the CMOS. All the actions are made from Windows environment, so your Mini PC has to be able to boot into Windows. All the following actions that are you will do next are entirely at your own risk.
