1. Accessing BIOS Utility Set-up

* Step 1
- Restart your computer. Open Start image, click the power icon, and click Restart.
- If your computer is locked, click the lock screen, then click the power icon in the bottom
right corner of the screen, and click Restart.
- If your computer is already off, press your computer’s “ON” switch.
* Step 2
- Wait for the computer’s start-up screen to appear. Once the start-up screen appears, you’ll
have a very limited window in which you can press the setup key.
* Step 3
- Press and hold Del or F2 to enter setup. The key you’re prompted to press might also be
different; if so, use that key instead.
- You can look at your computer model’s manual or online support page to confirm your
computer’s BIOS key.
* Step 4
- 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.
