How to Access the BIOS on Any PC

Using Windows 10 & 11 Settings

  1. Open your Windows Settings
              If you can boot into Windows, you should be able to enter the UEFI/BIOS without worrying about pressing special keys at boot time.
    Entering the BIOS requires you to restart your PC. Save your work and shut down other programs before continuing this method.

2. Click Update & Security (Windows 10) or System (Windows 11).
          On Windows 10, it’s the icon of two curved arrows. On Windows 11, “System” is an option in the left sidebar.

3. Click Recovery.It’s in the left column on Windows 10, and in the right panel on Windows 11.

4. Click Restart Now under “Advanced startup.”

It’s in the right panel, although you may need to scroll down a little to find the button.

5. Click Troubleshoot on the menu.
Additional menu options will appear.

6. Click UEFI Firmware Settings.

It’s the icon of a microchip with a gear on it. A confirmation screen will appear.

7. Click Restart.
This will restart your PC into the BIOS/UEFI.

Once you’re in the BIOS or UEFI, use the arrow keys on your keyboard (or your mouse, if it works) to navigate and make menu selections

the BIOS or UEFI will load. If your mouse isn’t working in the BIOS, you can navigate menus using your keyboard.
