Access the BIOS of the computer.

In this tutorial you will learn the frequently used commands so that you can access BIOS from your computer. ENTERS!

 

WE START:

I come with another post, and this time I will teach you the most common or used commands to access the computer's BIOS.

This trick will be useful if you need to configure the BIOS but don't know which keys to use. In BIOS we cannot use the mouse since its use is disabled.

The keys or combination of these sometimes differ according to the models but most are valid for all the models.
