Computer technology is stable,which can not be said about operating systems (especially the Windows family). Sometimes the user has to reinstall the OS. And then he simply vital to learn how to run the BIOS on a laptop or personal computer. It is worth noting that the input options are different on different machines. It all depends on the developers of this or that BIOS. We will certainly understand the ways of entering on different models of laptops. But first a little general information.
BIOS (from the English.BIOS) is the basic input / output system. In fact, this is the firmware of the computer motherboard. A kind of graphical interface that allows you to configure some parameters of the machine. To be more precise, the installed equipment. There are several sections in the BIOS structure. All of them are responsible for specific equipment. All items are spelled out in English. However, it is not difficult to understand what is what, for the terms are all familiar. BIOS settings greatly affect the overall performance of the computer. By ignorance, you can wind up such that the PC generally refuses to work. It's good that you can easily reset the settings to factory settings. But first you need to understand how to run the BIOS on a laptop. Most manufacturers have their own recommendations in this regard. There is no universal key. Therefore it is required to disassemble all possible variants with laptops of different companies. So, let's begin.
ASUS produces good devices:powerful, beautiful and easy to use. But how to run BIOS on an ASUS laptop? Here everything depends on the specific model. Transformers from ASUS, for example, require you to press the F2 button on the physical keyboard. It should be noted that the laptop must be turned off. You have to press and hold F2 and at this point, press the power button. Hold F2 pressed until the BIOS menu appears on the screen. Some versions of laptops from ASUS require a little different action. It is necessary to hold the Esc button while turning on and wait until the boot menu appears. In this menu, select "Enter Setup". After that, the BIOS of the device will boot. As you can see, even laptops of the same manufacturer can have different keyboard shortcuts for entering the BIOS. But it's quite easy to do this if you know exactly how. The answer to the question on how to run BIOS on ASUS is received. Now let's move on to devices from other manufacturers.
The Chinese manufacturer is gradually gainingmarket of mobile computers. He produces powerful and high-quality devices and sells them at an adequate price. Therefore, they are widely distributed in Russia and CIS countries. So, how to launch BIOS on Lenovo? Here, too, everything depends on the particular model of the laptop. Notebooks B series require you to press the Enter button. Also there is an option with the F12 button pressed. This action will enable the boot menu. There you just need to press F1. This action will launch the BIOS menu. The models of the Thinkpad and Ideapad line require the clamping of F1 and F2, respectively. In general, it's easy to enter the BIOS of a laptop. The main thing is not to get lost among a lot of settings and choose the right options. But this is a completely different story. Now you know how to run BIOS on Lenovo. So let's move on to the models of other manufacturers.
Еще один популярный производитель мобильных computers. The devices of this company can boast not only high performance, but also elegant appearance. Especially popular are the company's ultrabooks. Therefore, it makes sense to make out the question of how to run BIOS on these laptops. In older versions of laptops, you often need to press the F1 key. You can also use the combination Ctrl + Alt + Esc. As for the relatively new models, there are several options for entering the BIOS. You must press the F2 or Del button. If you are not sure what kind of generation you have, then you can experiment by healing all the above keys in turn. Something will certainly work. Consider the laptops of another well-known manufacturer. They are also popular in the domestic market.
Notebooks from HP are popular amongmany users around the world. How to launch BIOS on these laptops? In devices of the Pavillion series you need to clamp F1 during the appearance of the company logo at boot. In the Tablet PC line, you need to use the F12 or F10 button. But there is one feature. For some reason it is in the laptops of this company that BIOS has the most complex and incomprehensible structure. Therefore, to dig into the settings of this laptop you need with extreme caution. There is one more feature of the input to the BIOS. And it is not connected with the device manufacturer, but with the operating system installed. It is necessary to disassemble in detail the moment when using "Windows 8" and higher. Since the process is significantly different from that when using the classical "seven".
The trouble is that different operating system versionssystems use different boot options. If the user knew how to run BIOS on Windows 7, then with the "eight" he may have some difficulties. The fact is that the G8, by default, can use the UEFI mode. And he does not allow just like that to enter into BIOS. It is necessary in the loaded operating system to select the "Options" menu and go there to the sub-item "Restore". Here you need to select "Special download options". It will have the following inscription: "UEFI firmware parameters". Her and need to click. After that, you need to restart the laptop. If the operating system does not boot, then on the command line when booting the computer, type the command "shutdown.exe / r / o". It will restart the PC and allow the device to run the BIOS. Exactly the same situation with the "Windows 10". In general, the Secure Boot mode delivers a lot of trouble. And its use is completely unjustified, since there can be no talk of any security. This is "Microsoft". Their operating systems are a priori full of holes and vulnerabilities. Older laptop models have the option to disable UEFI and Secure Boot. But the owners of new models are doomed to use non-standard ways to enter the BIOS.
So, we sorted out the question of how to runBIOS on laptops of various manufacturers. It should be noted that all of the above is a general recommendation. They may not suit you if you have a laptop of some other model. But no one forbids experimenting. At least some combination of keys from the specified in this material should definitely come up. Let's not forget that the versions of "Windows" (starting from 8) completely refuse to let the user into the BIOS after pressing the necessary keys. Therefore, additional actions are required. But enter the BIOS is possible on any PC or laptop. The main thing is not to change the settings, because you can bring the computer to the state of "brick".
