    Find or create a Windows installation disc. If you don't have access to any administrator accounts on the computer, you can use a Windows installation disc as a workaround. This requires the same version disc for the version of Windows you are trying to access. The disc doesn't have to be the one that came with the computer.[1]
    1. If you have an ISO copy of the Windows installation disc, you can burn it to a blank DVD or put it on a bootable USB drive. See Install Windows 7 Using Pen Drive for more detailed instructions on creating a bootable USB drive with Windows installation files.

Common keys include: F2, F10, F11, and Del. Once you've opened the BIOS or SETUP menu, select the BOOT or BOOT ORDER option.
    2. Windows 8 and later - Open the Start menu or Screen and right-click the Power button. Hold ⇧ Shift and click "Restart." Choose the "Troubleshoot" option, then "Advanced options." Select the "UEFI Firmware Settings" option from the menu. Open the BOOT menu.

    Select your installation disc or USB drive as the primary boot device. The exact process will vary, but generally you'll just reassign the numbers so that the computer boots from the disc or USB drive before the hard drive. Some BIOS software refers to this as the "Boot Order" and you will often see a menu option to "Change Boot Order". Don't be surprised if you find that that the CD drive is already set as the first drive in the order. If this is the case, you don't need to change anything in the BIOS, SETUP or BOOT sequence.
