Windows 10 gives you the ability to access the BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) through your computer’s operating system settings. This feature is really useful because many new computers start up too fast, so you won’t have time to enter the BIOS on startup.
BIOS (Basic Input / Output System) is the first program that runs on your computer when you turn it on and it’s built on your computer motherboard. The BIOS programs get the lowest level access to your computer’s hardware and check the basic system requirements. If you remove an essential part on your computer motherboard, you will hear a beep, such as when you remove the CMOS battery or when it is dead on your computer.
This post provides two methods for accessing a computer’s BIOS.
