What is how to enter bios windows 11?

Accessing the BIOS on a Windows 11 computer typically involves pressing a specific key during the startup process. The key varies depending on the manufacturer of your computer's motherboard. Here's a general guide:

  1. Identify the BIOS Key: Common keys include:

    • <kbd>Del</kbd> or <kbd>Delete</kbd>: This is very common on desktop computers.
    • <kbd>F2</kbd>: Often used on laptops and some desktops.
    • <kbd>F12</kbd>, <kbd>F10</kbd>, <kbd>F1</kbd>, <kbd>Esc</kbd>: Less frequent, but possible, especially on older systems. Check your computer's manual or the manufacturer's website if you're unsure.
  2. Restart Your Computer: You'll need to restart your computer to access the BIOS.

  3. Press the BIOS Key Repeatedly: As soon as your computer starts, and before the Windows logo appears, begin pressing the identified BIOS key repeatedly. It's important to start pressing the key immediately after the power-on self-test (POST) screen appears.

  4. Troubleshooting:

    • Fast Startup: Windows 11's Fast Startup feature can sometimes prevent you from accessing the BIOS. You might need to disable Fast Startup in Windows power settings to reliably enter the BIOS.
    • Manufacturer Logo: Some manufacturers display their logo during startup, obscuring the prompt to press a key for setup. Look carefully for a brief message indicating the BIOS key, or consult your computer's documentation.
    • UEFI Firmware Settings: If you still have trouble, you can access the UEFI Firmware Settings from within Windows 11. Go to Settings > System > Recovery. Under "Advanced startup," click "Restart now." After your computer restarts, choose "Troubleshoot" > "Advanced options" > "UEFI Firmware Settings." This option isn't available on all systems.
  5. Entering BIOS through Advanced Startup: This is another method if normal key press doesn't work.

    • Go to Settings > System > Recovery.
    • Under Advanced startup, click Restart now.
    • After your computer restarts to the Choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot > Advanced options > UEFI Firmware Settings.
    • Click Restart to enter the BIOS.

Remember to consult your computer's manual or the manufacturer's website for the most accurate information regarding your specific model.
