If you’re using a Dell laptop and need to access the BIOS setup or the boot menu, the process is straightforward and quick. These options are particularly useful when you want to make system configuration changes or select a different boot device.
Accessing the BIOS Setup (UEFI Firmware)
To enter the BIOS setup, press the F2 key immediately after turning on your laptop. As soon as the Dell logo appears on the screen, repeatedly press the F2 key until the BIOS setup opens. Here, you can adjust basic system settings such as boot order, security options, or power management.
Accessing the Boot Menu
If you need to select the boot device or boot from a USB drive, press the F12 key immediately after turning on your laptop. Once the Dell logo appears, keep pressing F12 until the boot menu is displayed. Here, you can choose the desired boot device and start your system from it.
