1. BIOS start – so it works

How to Enter into the BIOS – You want to change something in the basic settings of your computer? We will show you how to open the BIOS!

 

he BIOS is a firmware that runs right after power up during the boot process. The main task is to make the computer work and then start the operating system. BIOS stands for “basic input / output system” and is stored in older computer models as a small chip on the motherboard. You want to make changes to the hardware or change the performance and already have background knowledge of the BIOS? Then we have listed in our table the respective key combinations of the manufacturers, with which you get into the BIOS.

Note: Only make changes in the BIOS if you know exactly what the consequences are. Incorrect settings can cause the operating system to stop booting and various parts of the computer to stop working .

For more recent PC models, UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is installed. From 2020 this should completely replace the BIOS settings. The method shown here is only for computers with operating system versions older than Windows 8 .
