How to Change Computer BIOS Settings
Knowing how to access and change settings in your BIOS can save you a lot of headaches when troubleshooting a computer. The method varies for every computer, but this guide will show you how to access and change your BIOS settings.
Boot the computer. As the manufacturer’s logo appears, press the designated setup button to enter the BIOS. The key varies by manufacturer. Typical setups keys are F2, F10, F12, and Del. The key will be displayed on the screen with the manufacturer’s logo.
Rapidly strike the setup key. Newer computers can boot very fast. Once you figure out your setup key, rapidly press it when booting the computer. This will give you a greater chance of entering the BIOS. You may have to repeat the process several times if you have difficulty with the timing.
If you are running Windows 8 and cannot access the BIOS, see the Entering Windows 8 Boot Options section.
Wait for your BIOS to load. After successfully hitting the setup key, the BIOS will load. This should only take a few moments. When the loading is complete, you will be taken to the BIOS settings menu.
