Access the BIOS on your Windows PC / Laptop

 It is well known that to access the BIOS of a Windows PC, you have to start the machine up while pressing a particular key (could be an F key, or Delete or ESC, but there is no set rule, and if you do not know which ket it is it can be quite a challenge. 

Why would you want to access the BIOS, one of the reasons is to change the boot order, from the Hard Disc (or SSD) to a JUSB port where you can override the startup with another operating system to either try experimenting or involve /install a LINUX OS. 

PLEASE NOTE: Do not attempt this unless you aleady have experience with the BIOS on your machine, a wrong move can cause problems. 

So the Shortcut method is:

1: Right click on Desktop and create a newSHORTCUT

2: Enter into the box  shutdown /r /fw/ t 1    (notice the spaces)

3: Rename the Shortcut  BIOS

4: Right Click the new BIOS ICON and go to PROPERTIES

5: Click on ADVANCED

6: Check the box  'Run as Administrator'

7: Apply and Close

To open the BIOS, Double Click the BIOS ICON
