Many critical PC system settings are wired into the BIOS, a small microcircuit on the motherboard, which is an autonomously functioning minicomputer that tests the system at boot time. The acronym BIOS stands for English as follows: basic input / output system.
The simplest example of a setting that cannot be changed from the operating system is time and date. More complex, provided on some systems is the rotation speed of the processor cooler. There you can turn on the built-in sound chip, network card, set interrupts for devices. Therefore, the question of how to open BIOS is natural if you are faced with an atypical system. The fact is that on ordinary desktop PCs it has become almost a standard that you can enter the BIOS using the DEL key, however, laptop manufacturers have worked hard to ensure that the demand for spare parts and service services is consistently high, for this reason they may have a BIOS login algorithm completely different.
