How do i get to the BIOS Screens?

 

[Jim Macklin]

It depends on the hardware/and model... generally after
turning the computer ON and before Windows begins to boot,
you press an assigned key. Often this is one or a
combination.

Compaq likes to use F10, some companies like to use F1 or
F2, some use ESC and some use [ctrl/alt/esc] You can look
on Google for the data "en mass" or you can look in your
computer manual. If you know the make and model of
motherboard you can find it there, unless the OEM changed
it.

It varies, depending on which system you have. Usually, the maker calls the
BIOS either System Setup or Setup. When you first power on your system,
either on the maker's logo screen or on the screen that follows, it says
something like: Press F1 to enter Setup. If your system came with a manual
there should be a mention of which key to press to enter System Setup
(BIOS). If your system didn't come with a manual, go to the maker's web
site, click the support link, and get the information there.

Greetings --

Only you know what motherboard and BIOS you have, so only you know
the answer to your question. ;-}

In the extremely unlikely event that your PC's manual doesn't
contain the needed information, try one or more of the following:

You should also be aware that it's very easy to render, at least
temporarily, your PC unbootable by making an incorrect change in the
BIOS. So be very careful.
