▷ How to access the bios with windows 10 【step by step】

We return with one of those useful and short step by step, in this case we will see how to access the BIOS with Windows 10, let's be honest, no one likes to be restarting the computer and trying many keys until they find the way to access the BIOS. With Windows 10 it is quite simple to do, as long as you have a UEFI type BIOS.

As we say, we will need to have a UEFI-type BIOS to be able to do this, since Windows 10 is capable of detecting such a BIOS to provide access to it in a few clicks.

In case you do not know what the BIOS is, in Spanish it means basic input and output system, and basically it is a chip that is integrated into our motherboard. This is responsible for initializing and checking the correct operation of our PC devices, usually hardware, such as CPU, RAM, hard drives, chipset or graphics card. If you have a PC about 5 years old and up, they will have a nearly 100% UEFI BIOS. These are characterized by having a high-level graphic interface and the possibility of handling the mouse within it.

Access BIOS from Windows 10 (long method)

Let's start by seeing the steps we must take to access our BIOS with the configuration panel of our Windows 10. The method is to restart our computer, but not in a normal way, but from Windows we will activate an option so that when the PC reboot let's have direct access to the BIOS.

The first thing we will have to do is go to the configuration panel, which is accessible from the gear icon located in the start menu.

In the window that opens, we will have to click on the last option of " Update and security ". Yes, it is not the most intuitive site, but here it is.

Next, we place ourselves in the side list of options and go to the “ recovery ” section and go to “ advanced start ” and then click on “ Restart now ”.

But now your computer will not restart yet, instead a menu will appear on a blue background (Windows death blue) so that we can choose the " Troubleshoot " option.

The next section to which we must access is the " advanced options ".

And at this moment, we will see a list of options in which the " UEFI Firmware Configuration " should appear as the last option. If this option does not appear to you, it is that Windows is not compatible with a UEFI, or directly your BIOS is normal and current.

Now our PC will restart and automatically when it starts up, our BIOS will be shown. If not, a menu will appear in which we will have to select the option “ BIOS Setup ” or something similar using the cursors.

Well, that's it, in this simple way we could access the BIOS from Windows 10.

But this is not all, since there is an even faster method. Let's go back to Windows 10 to do it.

Access BIOS with Windows 10 (short method)

The second option we have to do this, is using a little trick that the system has.

Well then, we are going to open our start menu and we are going to hit " Restart ", but stop! Before clicking, we are going to press the " Shift " or " Shift " key on our keyboard. With it pressed, we click on restart.

Now we will get exactly the same menu as in the previous section. So we do exactly the same steps as before.

As you can see it is a very simple process thanks to the compatibility options that Windows 10 has for the new UEFI BIOS, now it's up to you to try.
