F8 or F10
The delete key is also used to access bios on some systems.
BIOS setup is accesses most of the time by pressing the DEL key on bootup. On some computers it is F10, F2 or rarely F8.
To access the BIOS on a Toshiba LX835-D3203, restart the computer and immediately press the "F2" key repeatedly as soon as the Toshiba logo appears. If you miss the timing, you may need to restart and try again. Once in the BIOS setup, you can navigate using the keyboard to adjust settings as needed.
To access the CMOS setup on a Compaq Presario notebook, restart the computer and immediately press the F10 key repeatedly as the system boots. This should take you to the BIOS setup utility. If F10 doesn't work, you can also try pressing the Esc key or F2, depending on the specific model. Once in the BIOS, you can navigate using the arrow keys to adjust settings.
To access the setup program stored in ROM BIOS on a new computer, you typically need to restart the computer and press a specific key during the boot process. Common keys used for this purpose include F2, DEL, ESC, or F10, depending on the manufacturer. Look for a prompt on the screen during startup that indicates which key to press. Once accessed, you can configure hardware settings, boot order, and other system options.
Macs do not use a BIOS so there is no key to press.
To access the CMOS setup on an HP ProBook 4520s, restart the laptop and press the "Esc" key repeatedly as it boots up. When the Startup Menu appears, press "F10" to enter the BIOS setup. From there, you can navigate through the CMOS settings using the arrow keys. Be cautious when making changes, as this affects system configuration.
The operating system of most computers does not contain the BIOS. The BIOS is stored in a chip on your motherboard. he is right the bios is not stored on your OS...however if you wish to access your BIOS you need to restart your PC and when you get to the first or second black screen (when it reads your processor information and etc) it will says "Press <insert key here> to enter setup" (or something similar...keep in mind all chipsets are different) keep rapidly tapping that button....(what i do when i first start up a PC and need to get in the bios i alternate between F9,F11, and delete until i get in the bios since these are the most commonly used keys to enter your bios)
To access the CMOS on a Compaq computer, restart the system and during the boot process, press the appropriate key (usually F10, F2, or Esc) when prompted to enter the BIOS setup. Once in the BIOS menu, you can navigate through the options using the arrow keys to view and modify the CMOS settings. After making any desired changes, be sure to save and exit the BIOS to apply them.
When you first start the computer you'll see the logo of your motherboard/computer brand and usually at the bottom says "Press (some key like F2) to enter Setup." That's the key to press.
The key is different to what BIOS you have. If this is not to do with BIOS, and is a feature of Windows, (of which I have not played with...), it is most likely F8
during the boot process depending on the motherboard you can press the delete key or the f2 key you only need to press it once but if pressing it multiple times makes you feel better you can do that too. if your operating system begins to load you didn't press the key early enough
