V recent times users are increasingly asking a question regarding BIOS settings. Although, in its new guise, it is still accepted to call it as UEFI, which is the software of motherboards. Essentially, this is one of BIOS types and the destination remained in the same direction (boot settings, information about current state OS, etc.).
As you know, the start of work of the "dozens" implies a fast boot mode, which the developers used back in previous version operating system... Thus, the user will not see any prompts to enter the BIOS, as it was in the "seven" and even earlier versions. However, UEFI settings no one was going to hide, so it would be easier than ever to carry out such a procedure. So how to enter BIOS in Windows 10 and what is it?
What is BIOS and its types
To begin with, we will conduct a short course of acquaintance with these settings for those who do not quite know what kind of “fruit” it is or know superficially about it. So, the abbreviation of this definition stands for Basic Input / Output System. In a more understandable language, the decryption translates as "basic input / output system". The purpose of the BIOS is to control the interaction of PC components with each other and directly with the OS.
As soon as you start the system, the BIOS analyzes the state of the available software and if everything matches the parameters and is in a healthy state, then the system starts to boot.
There are 3 types of BIOS settings: AMI (American Megatrends Incorporated), AWARD, and UEFI. In general, we will not dwell on the analysis of species. The first two types have corresponding prompts for any actions in their interface, but UEFI is a more modern base that has more functions than AMI or AWARD.
Entering the parameters while turning on the PC
This method is very common and is rightfully called the standard one. Even before the start of loading "tens", press the Delete button (this key is responsible for entering the BIOS in most of the PC) or F2 (for laptop owners). All in all, there are other buttons or even keyboard shortcuts that get you where you want to go.
Sometimes the buttons F10, F1, F3, ESC are responsible for entering the BIOS, or it can be combinations of the form CTRL + ALT + ENTER or CTRL + ALT + ESC.
It is worth noting that on laptops the number of combinations for implementation is many times greater, so in order to find out which combination works on your device, you need to inquire about the information in the instructions for the laptop.
In general, the following inscription should appear on the loading screen:
Press (button name) to enter setup
It happens that you will not see such inscriptions on your monitor. Do not rush to get upset, most likely, the manufacturers of the motherboard or device decided to "excel" and did it in their own way. And how exactly "in your own way", you can find out after reading the equipment documentation, which should contain explanations for such moments.
The paradox is that you won't be able to look at your monitor for a long time at this stage of loading. The fact is that under the fast loading of the system, there is really fast loading, thanks to which the user may simply not have time to see the message or he will not have enough time to press a key.
Usually, the system gives the user 4-5 seconds - this, by the way, is one of the distinctive characteristics of UEFI (in the case of AMI or AWARD, the time will be longer).
Since the problem comes from fast loading, it means for the sake of avoiding such embarrassment this function better to turn it off. To do this, go to "Start", select "Control Panel", go to the "Power" section, and then click on the link "Action of the power buttons".
In the dialog box that appears, activate the link "Change settings that are currently unavailable", then uncheck the box next to the item "Enable quick start", Then click the" Save Changes "button. Actually, now nothing prevents you from entering UEFI, so restart the device and try to carry out the procedure.
Login to BIOS using the "Special boot options" option
To get started, go to "Settings" and select the "Update and Security" section. In the dialog box that appears, in the left column, select "Recovery". On the right side of the screen, find the "Special Boot Options" option and click the "Restart Now" button.
As soon as the device restarts, go to the "Diagnostics" section, select the " Extra options"And then" UEFI Firmware Settings "and click the" Restart "button. After a repeated reboot, the system will redirect you to the BIOS settings.
There is another similar method that is used in cases where there is no access to the top ten, but you have a login screen in front of you. In this situation, press the power key and hold down the Shift key in the mini-context menu, click on the "Restart" option. These actions will redirect you to the "Special boot options" section, but what to do next, we have already described a little higher.
Accessing the BIOS through a USB flash drive or disk
This method is usually used to reinstall the system. To get started, insert your flash drive or disc before turning on or rebooting your device. After that, go to the settings and make changes to the boot order of "external" devices that act as data storage. We draw your attention to the fact that this method is described specifically for UEFI.
Select “Boot priority” from the menu and set the boot sequence for devices. This procedure should be carried out using the cursor - just drag the icons in the desired order and save. Following the reboot (menu "Recovery" - "Restart now"), the PC will use the USB flash drive / disk to boot the system, as soon as you select it in the "Use device" item.
Actually, we talked about all the common methods of entering the BIOS. Which way to choose is up to you.
If you still have questions on the topic "How to enter BIOS in Windows 10? ", You can ask them in the comments
Windows 10 contains many options that can be configured directly in the OS. But every computer has settings that can only be changed in the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System). BIOS is software that is integrated into motherboard your computer and controls everything from the boot order hard drives and pre-configuring security settings.
Logging into BIOS when you turn on the computer
Unfortunately, since BIOS is a pre-installed environment, you won't be able to access it directly from Windows 10. On some older PCs or those specially configured to boot slowly, you can hold down a function key (such as F1, F2, or DEL) at startup to enter into this mode. If you are reinstalling the system, you will need programs for creating a bootable USB drive.
- Press and hold the DEL button, then press the power button.
- DO NOT RELEASE the DEL button until the BIOS screen appears.
However, most computers that have been made in the past four years boot Windows 10 very quickly to have time to press a key at startup. Last year, the transition to software BIOS configuration included pressing a specific key on the keyboard before loading the operating system.
V Microsoft Windows 10, there was UEFI firmware and fast boot, which is now common on many computers. Entry often requires a completely different approach and, as you will see, is hardly intuitive.
Login to BIOS through Windows parameters
To access the BIOS on a computer under Windows control 10, do the following. Go to settings. You can get there by clicking the corresponding icon in the Start menu.
- Select Update & Security.
- Open "Restore" from the menu on the left.
Click Restart Now in the Special Boot Options section. The computer will restart and a special menu will appear on the screen.
- Click Diagnostics, then Advanced Options.
- Select UEFI Firmware Options.
- Click Restart.
Your system will restart and you will be taken to the BIOS.

Every computer has a BIOS. The user who reinstalled the operating system or "overclocked" the computer was faced with the need to configure this component of the PC. Therefore, you need to know how to enter BIOS on Windows 10.
Why is it needed?
BIOS is an abbreviation that means "basic input / output system" in English. With its help, computer components interact with each other and with the OS. He first starts on a PC and tests the components of the device, and only after that Windows starts. It also has many configurable parameters that help your computer "overclock" or tune for maximum performance.
Varieties
Like any other component of a computer, the basic I / O system has evolved over time, so various types of it are now used.
AMI
Developed by American Megatrends Incorporated, this type features a blue or gray screen on a blue background. Depending on the version, the location of the menu items in it is different.
AWARD
AWARD is developed by Phoenix. The difference from AMI lies in the different arrangement of menu items. But in general, these two species are similar. 
UEFI
UEFI comes pre-installed on modern computers... Unlike the two previous ones, this system has a graphical user-friendly interface and is distinguished by a large number of additional functions that are not available in previous BIOS builds. 
How do I find out the version on my PC?
Open the "Run" window (by pressing the Win + R keys) and enter the command in it: msinfo32... The System Information section lists the version of the BIOS installed on your computer. 
Use the command line to view.
RMB → Start Menu → Command line(Administrator)-> enter the command: wmic bios get smbiosbiosversion→ the version of the installed BIOS will appear on the screen. 
How to enter
The BIOS is entered during a reboot, turning on the computer, or from under Windows.
On reboot
During the reboot of the device, after the computer turns off, you need to press the BIOS entry key several times. Basically it is Del, F2 or Esc, but each manufacturer chooses which keys it starts with, and indicates this on the computer's startup screen. But due to the fact that modern devices have a small interval between starting and loading the OS, this information can not always be read. Therefore, increase this time interval.
From Windows
To sign in from Windows, use the Settings app.
- Settings app -> Update & Security -> Recovery -> click Restart Now.
- Diagnostics -> Advanced Options -> UEFI Firmware Options.
Important! This method works exclusively with devices that have a UEFI interface installed.
Video
Watch the video how to enter BIOS from under the OS and when you restart your computer.
How to change the boot priority
Changing the boot priority will be required, first of all, when reinstalling Windows(you will be interested to read the article) or OS recovery. This can be done in two ways.
Using Boot Menu BIOS settings are not changed. When the PC boots up, call this menu (mainly the F8 key) and install the boot from the media that you need (read how to install Windows 10 from a USB flash drive in the article). This change is a one-time change, so subsequent downloads are done from standard media. 
In BIOS settings
Find the Boot item (for AMI) or Advanced BIOS Features (AWARD and Phoenix) in the menu → go to Boot Device Priority (only for AMI) and on the First Boot Device item specify the device from which the boot will be performed → save the changes before exiting.
When using UEFI, you can change the boot device by following the graphical prompts.
Output
The BIOS configures the interaction between the components of the computer. In it, you can change the boot priority from various devices but difficulties arise due to the fact that modern manufacturers use different basic I / O systems.
Good afternoon. How to enter BIOS through Windows 10? In one of the previous articles, we considered that it is not so easy to enter BIOS through Windows 10. I suspect that some readers will say that most computers running Windows 10 do not have BIOS installed, but its UEFI receiver. This is a modern advanced firmware with a beautiful design and in Russian. But, most of the users continue to call it BIOS, and we will also call it BIOS sometimes, and sometimes UEFI. The meaning remains the same.
So the bottom line is that thanks to the built-in mode, which creates a fast boot, this boot happens in a few seconds. Hence, the methods that work great on Windows 7 are not always doable in the top ten. But, despite the seeming complexity, this problem can be solved quite easily.
How to enter BIOS when the system starts without problems
Directly from Windows systems 10, the user will not be able to enter BIOS. The computer will have to be turned off.
Logging into UEFI from the login screen when logging into Windows is locked
What can be done when Windows 10 does not fully start up the system, leaving us at the welcome screen? Usually, in this window, the system asks for a password. This can happen when a driver or software has been installed that conflicts with the operating system. It is also possible that you simply forgot the password. Do not worry! We will enter BIOS anyway!
When the OS reboots again, we will find ourselves in the already familiar window "Select action". Then, we work on the steps that we went through in the first version. We got into BIOS again.
How to enter the Windows 10 BIOS in the classic way
As mentioned above, to enter the BIOS in the usual way, as in the seven, you must press F2, Del or other upper buttons of group F during start, it depends on the laptop model or computer motherboard.
But, there is one caveat. As we remember, dozens have “Fast Loading” and because of it we may not have time to press these keys. In this case, we will have to disable this function for a while.
That's it, now you can enter the BIOS as you entered the seven.
Important:- unfortunately in latest updates Windows developers removed the ability to disable Fast Startup in the Power tab. Therefore, for some people, this method is unacceptable. If you know another way to turn off Fast Startup in a new Windows update 10, please report it in the comments!
Login to BIOS using the command line
This method is applicable if, for one of the reasons, your ten does not want to be reloaded using the methods described above.
How to enter Windows 10 BIOS if a password is set for it
I'll tell you right away. If you decide to do this on a laptop, then it is better to take it to service center... But, if you have a stationary computer, you can easily reset the BIOS settings and, along with them, the system password.
After that, you can start the computer, the password will disappear. Now you can freely enter BIOS, there will be no more password.
If all the methods that I described did not work for you, let's look at the possible reasons for this.
1 You updated the BIOS to Windows 10, changed the system to UEFI, but made a mistake and installed the version not for your motherboard. It is also possible that the ROM is physically unable to service new system UEFI, as it takes up a lot of computer resources.
The decision is trivial. You need to take the PC to a service center, where the BIOS will be quickly restored (of course, if there are really professionals working there)!
2 The ROM board is damaged, and it contains the BIOS itself.
The decision is again trivial. We buy a new ROM chip for your motherboard and carefully insert it into the connectors (in most cases, manufacturers motherboards it is not soldered, but simply inserted into the connector).
3 The keyboard may break, or some of its keys. Everything can happen. There are keys that you rarely press. For example, groups F. And they, as we know, help to enter the BIOS.
The solution in this case can be 2 options. You enter BIOS using one of the methods described by me, where the keyboard is not needed. After that, you check which of the buttons do not work and repair them.
The second option is pretty straightforward. Buy a new keyboard.
Output:- I told how to enter BIOS through Windows 10 in five ways. I think at least one of them will definitely help you. I advise you to just re-read the article and apply the method that suits you! Good luck!
Today we will analyze popular question - how to enter BIOS on Windows 10?
True, most computers on the "top ten" instead of the good old BIOS are already equipped with its advanced successor - UEFI, modern firmware with a beautiful and more understandable graphical shell. But this does not change the essence.
The nuance here is this - because of the built-in fast mode downloads Win 10 usually boots up almost instantly. So to have time to press the necessary keys, as when trying to enter the BIOS on old Windows versions, not so easy.
And yet, the task is easily solved in a few elementary steps.
How to open BIOS if Windows 10 boots normally (i.e. no special problems)
Directly from the very Windows 10 open BIOS will still fail - the session will have to be terminated.
Everything! After the restart, you will automatically enter the BIOS (as you remember, in Windows 10 most often it is already UEFI instead, but it will probably be called in the old fashioned way for many years to come).
How to enter BIOS from the welcome screen if Windows 10 itself is locked out
What to do if Windows 10 won't let you sign in and start a new session without letting you go past the login screen (the one where the OS usually asks for the user's password)? This can happen, for example, if you have installed any drivers or applications that conflict with the operation of the OS. Or even just forgot your password.
It's OK! Here's how enter BIOS in this case.
After the restart, the system will direct us to the above-described "Select action" menu, and then everything follows the same scheme as in the section above: "Diagnostics" / "Additional parameters" / "UEFI firmware parameters" / "Restart".
How to enter BIOS when Windows 10 starts (discarding fast boot)
Is it still possible enter BIOS (UEFI) on Windows 10 using the classic method by simply setting the desired key combination at startup? It is possible, only for this we will have to turn off fast boot.
We have described additional methods and ways how to enter BIOS in our article.
Everything! The computer will now start up in its usual slow mode. Find the inscription "Press(... the same button or combination ...) "To setup" on a black screen during Windows boot 10 and press it constantly until we open the BIOS.
If you didn’t see the necessary text-prompts, in our article "How to enter BIOS on Windows 7" you will find the most complete table with the cherished keyboard shortcuts for various models of laptops and PCs.
How to enter BIOS (UEFI) on Windows 10 via command line?
This method is good when for some reason Windows reason 10 does not wish to reboot by any of the standard methods described above. Your case? Then we do the following.
How to enter BIOS on Windows 10 if it is password protected?
For this it is enough:
!!! Do not forget to turn off your computer completely and unplug all power cords before doing this!
You can read more about this simple procedure in our article.
Have you tried all the methods, but still failed to enter BIOS? Possible problems
- cause... You recently updated the BIOS on your Windows 10, or you yourself replaced it with UEFI, and by mistake installed an incompatible version (or maybe your ROM simply "does not pull" the rather gluttonous UEFI in terms of resources).
Solution. We take the computer to the service, where it is quickly restored.
- cause... The ROM chip in which the BIOS is "stored" has become unusable.
Solution. For a "system engineer", you can buy a new ROM and carefully replace it with your own hands (because in 99% of cases it is not soldered, but simply inserted into a special slot). But the laptop, most likely, will have to be re-soldered, so it's easier to contact the workshop.
- cause... The keyboard or part of it does not work. This happens - for example, if you rarely use the "top" keys F1-F12, you could easily not notice that this particular group of buttons is out of order.
Solution. Use some of the other login methods described in the article - most of them don't need buttons. Replace or repair the keyboard.
What do the different BIOS logon errors mean?
And finally, we have prepared a detailed cheat sheet that will allow you to quickly navigate the errors generated by the BIOS when entering. We think that the information will not be superfluous. Especially if you needed to enter the BIOS "not from a good life" (ie something went wrong with your Windows 10).
