Most often, we remember about BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) only when we need to reinstall the operating system and need to somehow set it to boot from a disk or flash drive. I have often written about this in articles such as:, and others. Now I want to put together and refer only to this article when necessary. This article will be useful for all versions of BIOS and for different firms... A kind of unified directory
The first thing you need to know is that BIOS is divided by manufacturer and version.
To change boot method in BIOS- you must first enter it.
You can, of course, find out what version and manufacturer of your BIOS, from the manual that comes with the computer.
You can also find out by looking at the line at the top of the black screen at boot time (the manufacturer will be indicated there).
Well, then enter the BIOS, knowing what kind of BIOS you have.
In some versions of the BIOS there is no such screen with displaying lines. There is simply a logo and at the bottom it says something like "Press F2 to enter SETUP" and then press F2. If there is just a logo and there are no inscriptions - press ESC, and then del or f2
Here is a small list of manufacturers and keyboard shortcuts for entering BIOS:
Also, at the bottom of the black screen, the keys are written to enter the BIOS and to display the list, which contains available devices to download and so that you can boot from it. But about him at the end of the article.
As you can see - most often you need to press a key F2 or Del.
Now you need to put a USB flash drive or disk in the boot.
Let's look at a few examples that differ from the BIOS manufacturer.
Setting up Award Bios for booting from a USB stick or disk:
The main window looks like this, in which we need the second item:
Further depends on the firmware version. In one case, you will need to go to an item similar to "Boot Seq & Floppy Setup"
otherwise, you don't need to go anywhere - everything will be right before your eyes
Click on First Boot Device(First boot device), click Enter and such a window will appear
in which you need to select the disk or flash drive that will be launched first. You can specify the Second boot device, for example, but usually the BIOS fills in this data itself.
On a note:
If you choose a flash drive, then, among other things, you also need to go to the "Hard Disk Boot Priority" item and move our flash drive to the very top using the "+" and "-" or "PageUp" and "PageDown" buttons:
It is also worth remembering that in order for the BIOS to see the USB flash drive, it must be connected before turning on or before rebooting
Then press "F10" (for the exact key, see the prompt at the bottom of the screen with the name "Save", "Exit") or go to the main BIOS menu and select "Save and Exit Setup". In the red window, select "Yes" with the "Y" button on the keyboard and press "Enter"
The computer will reboot and when booting from the Windows installation disc, you may be prompted for a few seconds "Press any key to boot from CD or DVD ..."
Which translates as "Press any button to boot from CD or DVD."
This means that if at this moment you do not press any button on the keyboard, the computer will continue to boot from the next device in the list.
Another kind of this BIOS:
I only met this on old computers ten years ago until 2003. The main menu looks like this:
To customize the boot order, you need to go to the menu BIOS FEATURES SETUP:
At this point, we just select with the PageUp and PageDown buttons (or Enter and arrows) what to put first - CDROM or USB flash drive. Don't forget the second and third device
And further:
How to choose where to boot from in AMI BIOS
If, after entering BIOS, you see such a screen, then you have AMI BIOS:
Use the "right arrow" button on the keyboard to move to the Boot tab:
Go to "Hard Disk Drives" and in the line "1st Drive" (may be called "First Drive") select a disk or flash drive:
Next, go to "Boot Device Priority", go to "1st Boot Device" and select from the list what you have selected in the previous tab (ie if you have selected a USB flash drive in Hard Disk Drives, then you need to specify it here too. This is important! )
To boot from a CD / DVD disk, you need to select "ATAPI CD-ROM" (or simply "CDROM") in this menu, while there is no need to go to the previous menu "Hard Disk Drives".
Now we save the results by pressing "F10" or go to the BIOS section "Exit" and select "Exit Saving Changes".
Another AMI BIOS, but everything is clear here:
Configuring Phoenix-Award Bios to Boot from a USB Flash Drive
If, after entering BIOS, you see such a screen, then you have a Phoenix-Award BIOS:
We go to the “Advanced” tab and opposite the “First Boot Device” set what you need (USB flash drive or disk):
Save with the F10 key
EFI (UEFI) Bios setup with graphical interface to boot from a USB stick
Now you will not surprise anyone with this. Almost all new computers come with this kind of shell. You can read more about it in the article.
When loading, at the bottom of the screen there is a section "Boot Priority", where you can use the mouse (drag and drop) pictures to set the desired boot order.
You can also click in the right upper corner button "Exit / Advanced mode" and select Advanced mode in the appeared window.
Next, go to the "Boot" tab and in the section Boot Option Priorities in the "Boot Option # 1" field, set the default boot device to a USB flash drive, DVD-ROM, hard disk or other available device.
How to boot from a USB flash drive or disk without entering BIOS
This is what I wrote about almost at the very beginning of the article.
This is when you need to press a key once and a window with a choice of loading will appear. This method does not change the BIOS settings.
Usually Award BIOS offers to press "F9" to call the boot menu, and AMI asks to press "F8". On notebooks, this may be the "F12" key.
In general - look at the bottom line and look for items like "Press F8 for BBS POPUP" or "Press F9 to Select Booting Device after POST".
Why can't I boot from a USB flash drive in BIOS?
Possible reasons: 
On ancient computers, there is generally no way to boot from USB sticks. If there is no newer BIOS, then the project can help.
1) Download from the link above latest version"Plop Boot Manager" and unpack it.
2) The archive contains files: plpbt.img - an image for a floppy disk, and plpbt.iso - an image for a CD-ROM.
3) We write the image to disk and boot from it (or from a floppy disk).
4) A menu will appear in which we select our USB flash drive and boot from it already.
Small decoding of drive designations when choosing:
Do not forget after you have done what you wanted (namely, why did you change the boot in the BIOS) - return the boot settings back so that the computer boots from the hard drive.
So, first you need configure BIOS... To do this, turn on the computer and immediately hold down the key "Delete"(on some keyboards short "Del") on the keyboard until we get into BIOS(by the way, I almost forgot, your boot Windows disk XP should already be in the CD / DVD drive).
Your BIOS may look different. It depends on the manufacturer and. But fear not, the settings are mostly the same. In BIOS we will work with the arrow keys ←→↓ ... So, we went to BIOS, then go to the tab Advanced BIOS Features:
In your BIOS, the name of the tab may be different. If so, go through the tabs and find which one contains device boot options... In my case, this is how the device boot parameters look like:
Now our task is to make the computer boot from disk, i.e. on "First Boot Device" we will put CDROM... We do it like this (select the parameter opposite First Boot Device , press Enter on the keyboard and use the arrows to select CDROM):
It should look like this:
Such confirmation may appear. Push "Y" on the keyboard, which means "Yes"(Yes), and press Enter:
Next, a reboot will occur. We are waiting for such an inscription to appear "Press any key to boot from CD" which means « press any key to boot from CD« ... We press any key:
And the installer will start. After checking the system configurations, you will be prompted to Restore your existing system or install a new OS. We choose "ENTER = continue":
Then we accept license agreement by pressing the key F8:
Then select the partition on which Windows will be installed. This is usually a section C:
Don't be afraid, click WITH:
We choose "Format partition in NTFS system":
Confirm with the key F:
Then copying files will start automatically:
The computer will then restart. Never click on "Enter-restart computer", otherwise the installation will be aborted. Let the computer reboot itself:
After rebooting, you will again be prompted to press any key, nothing do not press otherwise you will start the installation again.
After the reboot, the installation will continue, but in a more attractive environment:
We set up the time, date, time zone and go further:
If this message appears, click OK:
Press again OK:
Select item Postpone this action:
We write the name account... Up to five can be used if there are several users:
That's all the installation is complete!
Hope installing Windows XP was successful. It remains only to install the drivers for the normal operation of the computer. Good luck!!!
Want to install Windows 7 on your computer or laptop, but don't know how? It's not as difficult as it sounds. Although the first time, of course, it will be difficult. But, having figured it out once, you will become a real "IT-master" and will be able to independently install Windows 7 on any computer or laptop.
Before installing Windows 7, print this page. This will greatly facilitate your task. After all, during the installation of Windows 7, there will be no Internet access. The only exceptions are cases when you have a second PC, laptop or smartphone, from which you can go to the site again if necessary and see what to do next.
When is Windows 7 installed?
- You bought new laptop or a computer. Everything is clear here. In most cases, on laptops or PCs, or there is no operating system, or not the one you need (for example, the ancient MS-DOS).
- Didn't like Windows 10 or 8, and you want to install the good old "seven".
- There was a malfunction, a virus or ransomware banner ad was caught, the computer or laptop does not turn on, etc.
Let's dwell a little on the last point. If your computer or laptop has problems, do not rush to reinstall Windows. First, reinstalling the operating system is done last, when other methods have not helped.
Secondly, remember that after installing Windows, all data is erased, at least on local disk C. And these are all your programs: browsers, video players. And you have to install everything over again.
Third, there is no guarantee that reinstalling Windows will help solve the problem. But the files on the local drive C will be permanently deleted anyway.
Therefore, first, try looking for other solutions to restore the work of your PC or laptop. For example, the following articles may help you:
You can also always search for other articles on this blog or through Google / Yandex.
Preparing to install Windows 7 OS
The first thing to do before installing Windows 7 on a laptop is to copy the entire important information... At least from the local drive C. After formatting, all data on it will be erased.
If you bought new computer or laptop, you can skip this step. In all other cases, this is a prerequisite!
Therefore, save all files, documents, pictures, audio tracks and videos from the desktop and from the folder "My Documents". It is also recommended to look at the local drive C - important information is often written to it too. Where to save? To disk or flash drive. Another option is to upload files to online services (Yandex.Disk, Google drive etc.).
By the way, sometimes you can copy some programs along with the settings. For example, bookmarks and passwords from the browser you were using.
The second point to be done is to determine which bitness Windows 7 You need - x86 or x64. Everything is very simple here. If you have 4 GB installed on your laptop or computer random access memory(and more), then you need to install Windows 7 x64, and if less - then x86.
Why is that? The fact is that the x86 version does not see 4 GB of RAM. The maximum that it shows is 3.25 GB.
How to find out the amount of RAM? If you have a new computer, check the documentation. And if a laptop - then the characteristics are indicated on its case (or on the box).
If you already have Windows installed, then the amount of RAM can be viewed as follows:
The third point to be done before installation is to record a digital copy of Windows 7 to disk or flash drive.
If you already have boot disk(bought or given out in a store along with a PC), then skip this step.
Burning a DVD is easy. After all, you've probably already recorded films, music, games? This can be done through Nero, Alcohol 120% and other programs.
As for the USB stick, there are some difficulties. Therefore, in this case recommend reading -.
Where to get the image or installation disk Windows 7? Can be purchased at a store or online.
And the last thing to do before installing Windows 7 is to prepare drivers for your laptop or PC. The set with the computer usually comes with driver discs. If you have them, then you can skip this point.
Laptop owners are not given discs, so you need to install drivers from the manufacturer's official website (search by the name of your model).
If you skip this step, you may be left without internet. After all, you need to install a driver for it. Also, the USB connectors may not work. That is, a mouse. And in the end, you have to go to a friend or acquaintances and download drivers from them.
This completes the preparatory process. Once again, check that you have saved all important data, then connect a USB flash drive or insert a DVD with the Windows 7 installation image and restart your laptop / computer.
BIOS setup for Windows 7 installation
Perhaps, setting up BIOS is the most difficult stage for most users. Especially for beginners.
In addition, the difficulty here lies in the fact that on different PCs and laptops BIOS version may differ. And the buttons for entering the BIOS too. As a result, some users cannot even log into BIOS. Therefore, so that there are no problems with this, we will consider in detail what and how to do.
So, when you have prepared everything, restart the computer, and immediately upon turning on the screen, repeatedly press the Del (for PC) or F2 (for laptops) button. If you did everything right, you will see BIOS screen... Something like this:
Or like this:
There are 4 devices displayed here - First Boot Device (first), Second (second), etc. By default, the first is HDD(Hard Disk or HDD). And you need to put a CD-ROM (disk) or USB-HDD (flash drive) on the first line - depending on which device the seven will be installed from.
How to do it? On a PC, you usually need to select the first item, press Enter and select the desired option from the drop-down list.
On laptops, the device boot priority is changed using the arrows or the F5-F6 buttons. Control keys are usually listed to the right or at the very bottom of the BIOS screen.
When you select First Boot Device in the first paragraph desired device(CD-ROM or USB-HDD), be sure to save the settings, and then exit the BIOS. Which button to save? This is also written at the bottom of the screen (most often F10).
If you have BIOS UEFI ( a new version), then just drag the desired icon (disk drive or flash drive) to the first place and click "Exit" in the upper right corner.
After that, the laptop or computer will restart and the installation of Windows 7 will begin.
If all this is too difficult for you, there is another option to configure booting from a disk or flash drive without going into the BIOS. For this you can. But this method only works on newer PCs and laptops.
Step-by-step instructions for installing Windows 7
Immediately after rebooting, you will see a black screen with a single line.
Here you need to press any button - for example, Space.
If this inscription does not appear, then you have not saved the BIOS settings. Check them again. If everything is fine there, then either you did not write correctly bootable USB drive, or the disk is damaged, and the computer / laptop does not see it (the disk drive may not work).
After pressing the button, you will see a black screen with the words "Windows is downloading files ...".
Wait for the system to copy everything. After that, a new window will appear on the screen. Choose Russian and click "Next".
In the new window, click the "Install" button.
If several versions of Windows 7 are recorded on a disk or flash drive, you need to choose the appropriate one. We have already figured out the bit depth of x86 and x64, so decide for yourself here. As for the version, it is better to choose "Maximum". Although there is almost no difference between it, "Home", "Initial" and "Professional", so it is not so important. Select the desired item and click "Next".
Agree to the terms of the license (check the box) and move on.
Choose a complete installation.
A window will open with a selection of the partition for installing Windows 7. But here it is worth dwelling in more detail.
How do I partition a disk on first install?
If the installation is performed on a new computer or laptop (ie for the first time), then you will see only one line - "Unallocated disk space".
And in this case, you need to split the hard drive into 2 partitions - local drive C and D (more is possible, but it is not necessary). To do this, select this line, click the "Create" button, specify the size of the disk (in megabytes) and click the "Apply" button.
Not sure how much 50 GB will be in megabytes? Write the number at random - for example, 50,000. And then see how much the system will show for the created partition. If it turns out not enough, select it, click the "Delete" button, and try again, specifying a higher number.
For normal operation of Windows 7, you need to create a special 100 MB partition where the boot files will be stored. So when the next window pops up, just click OK.
When you specify the desired size for the local drive C and create it, then "Partition 2" will appear. This is it.
After that, again select the line "Unoccupied space", click "Create", and then the button "Apply". This will bring up the local drive D ("Partition 3").
If you forget to do this, then after installing Windows 7 there will be only one local drive C. And partition D will "evaporate" in the air. You will have to reinstall Windows again. Therefore, before proceeding further, make sure that the item "Unoccupied" is no longer there.
To install Windows on the local C drive, select "Partition 2" and click "Next".
If you reinstall Windows 7, then the following window will appear on the screen:
In this case, you need to select "Section 2" and click the "Format" button. This will delete all data on it. When the formatting process is completed, select this section again and click "Next".
By the way, if you want to distribute the space between the local drive C and D differently, you can delete them and recreate them by specifying a different size. How to do this is described in the previous paragraph. But remember: in this case, the information will be deleted on the local disk D too! As a result, your PC or laptop will be clean as if you just bought it. Therefore, follow this procedure only if you have saved all the files you need.
Continuing the installation of Windows 7
So, you were able to partition the hard drive or format it before installing Windows 7 and clicked the Next button. The operating system will then begin to install. Wait while copying files is complete.
After that, the computer / laptop will reboot, and you will see the familiar black window with a single line again.
Never press anything on the keyboard, otherwise everything will start over.
After that, the computer or laptop will restart a second time.
Well, the main thing is already over, it remains only to fill in some fields:
- Specify the username and computer name (if you plan to play games, it is better to write in Latin).
- You do not have to set the password - in this case, just move on.
- If you have a digital copy, the activation key can also be omitted (usually Windows 7 is activated automatically when the Internet is connected). Click Next to skip this step. And if you bought a disc, then enter the code here, which is written on the sticker.
- Here it is recommended to select the "Postpone decision" option (you can change these settings later).
- Choose your time zone, specify the time and click "Next".
- If Windows automatically finds drivers for the Internet, then select the "Home network" item in the new window.
- Wait for the desktop setup to complete.
- Congratulations - you have just been able to install Windows 7 on your laptop or computer yourself.
What to do after installing Windows 7?
First of all, you restart your laptop or computer, go into the BIOS and change the boot priority of the devices back. That is, put the hard disk (Hard Disk or HDD) in the first place, and lower the CD-ROM or USB-HDD to the second or lower.
Also, after installing Windows 7, the Internet and USB connectors may not work. This is because there are no drivers. Therefore, in the next step, install them.
For this, you need to prepare all the necessary drivers in advance before installing Windows 7. Especially on the internet. After all, how do you download them if there is no access to the network?
And one more nuance - when you turn on your computer or laptop, you may display two Windows 7 (during boot).
The first one was installed by you, and the second one was saved in a hidden section ("reserved by the system"). However, the extra line can be deleted. To do this, do the following:
Ready. After reboot second Windows 7 will no longer be, and you will not see the operating system selection menu.
If you have any questions, ask them in the comments.
Nowadays on the market computer technology a huge number of manufacturers are represented. They all release hardware adapted for use on three software platforms: Windows, Mac and Linux. Despite the advantages of the latter two, the generally accepted world standard is the conformity of equipment to work on the Microsoft operating system. But no matter how hard you try, sometimes a hardware conflict can occur: software may crash.
BIOS works regardless of the installed OS
To solve some problems, there is BIOS mode, which allows you to make a number of settings before the computer is fully turned on. It is in any PC on Windows 10 and other versions - it's like air for it. The only inconvenience is that each manufacturer programs its own keyboard shortcut to launch it. Let's consider how to enter BIOS on a PC or laptop from different manufacturers.
What is BIOS for
This is a software shell written on the motherboard that works independently of the OS. It controls all built-in equipment immediately after the power is applied. Thanks to this, after a crash of Windows 10 or another version of ex. Also the BIOS controls the connection additional devices and ensures their smooth operation. Since all the code is written on the motherboard, it depends on it how to enter the BIOS.
Entering BIOS
Older motherboard models
Almost all models allow you to get into the BIOS by pressing Delete. There are other options as well.
Older models of motherboards, which were created for computers on Windows XP or 7, do not start instantly, but display the manufacturer's logo for a few seconds, and at the bottom of the screen they write which button to press to enter the settings. For example, users might see the phrase Press DEL to enter SETUP. This means that the login is done with the Delete key. Another button can be specified instead.
Therefore, if you have a computer or laptop with old version BIOS, take a close look at what the system writes at startup. By the way, even if you are using Windows 8 or 10 on an old laptop, the BIOS remains unchanged, and you will enter this way. If you do not have time to press the key, since the screensaver quickly disappears, start pressing it many times until you enter this mode.
New motherboards
If your computer is newer and was originally created to work in Windows 8 or 10, most likely, the splash screen will not appear at all. In this case, you need to know for sure which button is right for you. Try Del right away, if it doesn't let you, then use the information just below. Feel free to press until you go to BIOS.
Possible key combinations
Depending on the manufacturer of the motherboard, the keys for entering may be as follows:
ALR - F2, Ctrl + Alt + Esc
Award - Del, Ctrl + Alt + Esc
Phoenix - Ctrl + Alt + Esc, Ctrl + Alt + S, Ctrl + Alt + Ins
You can find out the motherboard model through the AIDA64 program. Necessary information contained in the "Motherboard" tab. If you can't find out, then try everything possible options until it works.
Laptops
Laptops are no different, and to get into the BIOS, you need to press the desired key or a combination of them. On a laptop, you do not need to look for the motherboard model, since the button differs depending on the company. On an older laptop, after turning on, try to wait until the branded splash screen appears, informing about the desired button. If this does not happen, press several times until the setup mode starts. On a newer laptop running Windows 7, 8, and 10, the splash screen won't show, so use the following information.
Acer - F1, F2, Ctrl + Alt + Esc
Asus - F2, Del, Ctrl + F2
Dell - F1, F2, F3, Del
HP - F1, F2, F10
Lenovo - F1, F2, F12
MSI - F1, F2, F11, Del
Samsung - F1, F2, Del
Toshiba - Esc, F1
If your laptop is from some exotic manufacturer, try one of the combinations mentioned in the previous paragraph.
Conclusion
We figured out how to enter BIOS on a computer or laptop of various companies. All combinations are independent of Windows versions, be it 7, 8, or 10.
Did our information help you? If you cannot find your manufacturer in the list, then leave a comment, and we will definitely try to help you.
Do you have a laptop of the American brand Hewlett-Packard, which later split into two companies, and want to change anything in its BIOS settings? Today you will learn how in an hp laptop you can enter the BIOS, of any model, through the pre-boot menu and operating tools Windows systems 10.
First of all, a few words about the manufacturer. HP is a large American brand operating in the field of manufacturing of measuring, chemical and medical equipment, as well as computing technology... In 2015 the company splits into:
- HP Inc. - specializes in computer hardware and printers;
- HPE - is engaged in business services (cloud structures, network technologies, supercomputers).
What is BIOS and why is it needed
Let's first find out what a BIOS is and why a motherboard needs it. BIOS (on new motherboards and laptops, it has been replaced with an improved analogue of UEFI), although it has outlived its own, it still works on all computers purchased before 2015-2016, and there is still no getting away from this.
Physically, it is a microcircuit into which a set of firmware is embedded that implements the API for:
- Interaction of hardware components;
- Configuring equipment;
- Operating system startup;
- Testing the performance of hardware components of a computer and laptop.
There must be good reasons to enter the BIOS, for example, changing the system time, the priority of boot devices, and the like.
If you decide to update the firmware in the BIOS, but do not even know how to call it, it is better to refrain from this. Updating the firmware is a destiny experienced users and specialized services.
When you want to change the parameters, for example, put the device boot from a USB flash drive, adjust the system time or reset the settings to default, please.
How to get into BIOS
There are two methods to invoke the BIOS on an HP laptop:
1 Special keys when testing equipment;
2 Additional parameters Windows boot 8 and Windows 10.
Let's consider them in order and in more detail.
Which key to call the BIOS on your model
Almost all manufacturers of motherboards and laptop computers program different buttons to call up the menu basic settings... Even in different models of one line of notebooks, the key to enter the settings menu may differ.
Advice: If you need to get into the BIOS settings, open the instruction manual of your device. It probably contains a description of how to log into the BIOS of your laptop.
In the absence of a paper version of the manual, it can always be found on the official support site in pdf format.
You can do otherwise, reboot the device and, after self-testing the equipment, carefully look at the screen. It displays a notification for a few seconds (usually at the bottom) about how you can call the desired interface in HP.
Seeing it, you must press the corresponding key on the keyboard.
Rice. 2. Download window
If on most computers the role of this key is played by Del, then for a laptop it is: key F10(most popular), Esc, F1, F11 and other buttons from a number of functional ones.
Note that they often perform a different role (turning off Wi-Fi, adjusting the volume), and they must be pressed together with the key Fn.
In cases where you do not have time to see where this inscription appears or press the key in time to invoke the BIOS on your HP model, try restarting the laptop several times and each time clicking one of the function buttons (except F8), Delete and Esc. Surely, after several reboots, you will find yourself in the required menu.
A feature of many devices from HP is that you can launch the basic settings window in them with two buttons pressed in succession. The most common is Esc, clamped immediately after the self-test.
After that, a menu with boot options will appear on the screen (for example, on the HP Pavilion), where one of the function keys choose the option you want:
- F1- information about the hardware configuration;
- F2- diagnostic tools built into the system board for testing the hardware;
- F9- selection of the boot device;
- F10 – BIOS setup(by selecting it, go to the configurator basic system input / output);
- F11- tools for system recovery;
- Enter- launching Windows.
Rice. 3. BIOS call key
Is there a password to enter the menu? It doesn't matter, we will show you how to reset BIOS to factory settings. For this we remove back cover by unscrewing a few bolts, take out the CMOS battery for a couple of seconds and insert it back. All is ready.
The same, but when the settings are not protected, it can be done through the corresponding menu item or by pressing the key.
Rice. 4. Factory reset
We looked at how to enter BIOS using the tools that the developers provided for this. Next, you will learn how to get into the BIOS on a laptop with Windows 8 or 10 (also relevant for computers).
Operating system tools
The instruction is written in Windows example 10, but for Windows 8, everything is the same.
1 Call the menu "Options".
This is done in many ways:
- through Start;
- Win + X menu, called by the keyboard shortcut of the same name;
- combination of buttons Win + I.
2 In the window, click on the last icon.
Rice. 5. Windows 10 settings
Rice. 6. Special boot options
The next time you start the system, a window for its recovery will appear.
4 In it, select the item "Diagnostics" or run diagnostic tools.
Rice. 9. Calling BIOS through the extended window Windows settings 10
After us, it will be transferred to the menu, where the BIOS parameters are changed.
Not all developers make it so that beginners figure out how BIOS starts. On the other hand, novice users will do less harm to their machines, because after having sorted out a little with the menu items, they begin to experiment, for example, with overclocking the processor and are looking for information on how to update the BIOS firmware.
And one wrong action can lead to the fact that without a visit service center the laptop will be turned into a piece of metal and polymers.
P.S. This is the whole process of entering the BIOS of an HP laptop. Please note, if you are a PC user at the level - "Newbie", my advice to you is not to configure your own BIOS. Without knowing and not understanding what is responsible for what, you can greatly harm your laptop.
In my practice, there have been cases when, after user intervention in fine settings, the device simply could not be restored.
