Have you ever used an HP desktop and wanted to access the BIOS to make some adjustments but weren't sure how? No worries, here are detailed steps and facts to help you easily learn how to get into the BIOS.
First, let's understand what BIOS is. BIOS stands for Basic Input Output System. It's a set of programs that control the startup, operation, and shutdown of a computer. On an HP desktop, accessing the BIOS requires using a specific keyboard shortcut.
Find the Right Key Combination
When you turn on your computer, you need to press the "F10" key on your keyboard as soon as you see the HP logo on your screen. This key is located in the upper left corner of your keyboard. Keep in mind that you need to press the "F10" key as soon as this symbol appears; otherwise, you might miss your chance to enter the BIOS.
Select Boot Device
Once you're in the BIOS, you'll see an option called "Boot Device." Use the arrow keys (↑ or ↓) to select this option and then press the "Enter" key. You'll now see a list of boot devices.
Choose Your Device Boot Order
In this list, you can view various boot devices such as hard drives, optical drives, USB devices, etc. Use the arrow keys to select the device you want to boot from first, and then press either the "F5" or "F6" keys to adjust the order of the devices. If you wish to set your hard drive as the default boot device, press the "F6" key. If you want to set another drive as the default boot device, press the "F5" key.
Save Your Settings and Exit the BIOS
After making these changes, it's time to exit the BIOS. Press the Esc key, type 'Y', and finally press Enter to save your settings and exit the BIOS.
