How to enter BIOS (UEFI) on Windows 10
Windows 10 gives users a lot of options to configure directly from within the operating system, but on most computers there are settings that can only be changed in the BIOS (basic input / output system). The BIOS is software that is integrated into the computer's motherboard and controls everything from the drive's boot sequence to pre-boot security options, Fn keys, .
