Keyboard Keys To Access Bios

usfarang · ‎12-23-2022

My keyboard does not have any Function Keys. How do I select an option once the bios screen appears? I can get to the bios screen via the Esc key but then no key to select an option.

Thanks but that did not help. I need to know keys to press to select an option when the bios screen opens.

As I said, I dont have any F keys on my keyboard, only fn and the Windows Key.

Read the given links carefully.
unless your computer can no longer start ..?
I have indicated an option that allows you to restart directly in the bios
please also indicate the exact model of the computer, if possible more information about this keyboard

If nothing possible, then it will be necessary to find a keyboard, with the keys

It's not a matter of restarting or getting to view the bios menu, I can do that but don't know what keys on my keyboard I can use to navigate the bios selections.

Sorry "HP All-in-One 24 df1xxx "

it's not a model
BIOS Setup Utility information and menu options

I understand what you mean, because it is visible in the f10 bios to validate, is that it?
I would have to check, because it seems to me that I do not always use this key, only I have a doubt, and in all that I have found, nothing indicates how to do with this type of keyboard!

[edit] I am limited in the tests, because I do not have this type of keyboard, all have the F1>f12 function
If for some manipulation, the enter key is enough, then navigate, accept the changes etc.
sometimes no choice, I had to use F10
it's actually curious, have you tried with the fn key + other key?
I haven't found anything in the product support, and on the net, so far all of them seem to have a keyboard "with Fx function"
I advise you to contact hp, they must be able to explain how to do it, if not, why not provide the right keyboard

[edit]

wait, I have a very big doubt
I can't distinguish well enough, but since I can't find any other such example/problem..
What is written in very small letters on the first line of the keyboard at the top next to the mute, play, search etc. keys?

it looks a lot like this

and you can see the f keys

Perhaps it just can't be done with this keyboard. I have found nothing on it as I have searched the net.

I will replace the keyboard since it is a VERY bad design from HP anyway.

Thanks,

In effect
please come back and indicate what you bought, it may help other users
but from what i found, no reason why it shouldn't work with this one
