Every motherboard is different. Check your manuals or somethimes it tells
you on the screen at bootup. Could be delete key, F1, tab+delete, esc, F5,
etc..

For many computers the procedure is to hold down the DEL key during the
early part of the boot. Also, for some computers, the instructions are
displayed on one of the early screen pages during boot up.

How to get into your BIOS depends, not on Windows, but on what
motherboard/BIOS you have. As a matter of fact, you have to
access the BIOS before Windows even starts to boot. One common
way is to press the Del key when you first power on, but that's
not necessarily right for your computer. Watch the screen
carefully when you first boot; there's often a message there
telling you what to do. If not, check your system documentation
or check with your vendor.

Or just try the Del key. There's a good chance that's correct for
you.

In the extremely unlikely event that your PC's manual or the PC's
manufacturer's web site doesn't provide specific instructions for
entering the BIOS on your specific model of PC, 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.
