hp8100
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I want to choose in the bios from which disk I want to start.  I have 3 disks with an operating system in the HP8100.

Normaly  in every bios I known I can choose which disk is the starting disk.

How do I do that in the Bios from the 8100??????

I do not have HP-8100 system but my systems that allow selecting a different hard drive to boot from ALL require legacy boot.

 

I suspect you will have to disable secure boot and enable legacy bios.

@ruudb -- as soon as you power-on the computer, start tapping the ESC key, until you see a "menu", e.g., "press F9 to select boot device; press F10 to enter BIOS setup", and so on.  Then, try that "F9" key, to display all the disk-drives that you have listed, within BIOS SETUP, as containing "bootable" operating systems.

Hello

This is an automatic response
in order to avoid writing the same thing each time

Some elements may therefore not apply to you 
To be able to answer you effectively, we need some information

 

we need the exact model of your computer, and the product number
To find it follow this
for a desktop computer

HP Desktop PCs - How Do I Find My Model Number or Product Number? | HP® Customer Support
and for a laptop
HP Notebook PCs - How Do I Find My Product Name or Number? | HP® Customer Support

Give the full name with the product number P / N


this is not a model:
HP Desktop M01-F1xxx
the requested product number must look like this
Product Number: 9EE50AA # ABA
the model corresponding to this number will therefore be
HP Desktop - M01-F1033wb

Give the full version of windows

for windows 10 type winver in the search box
if you give the best information
your problem could have a solution more quickly (depending on the difficulty, of course)
