Elite 8100 Small Form Factor
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hi,

 

I am wondering about getting into the Advance configuration on the bios for a 8100 elite desktop sff or if there is even a way to get into those settings whether it be an update ,special button or throwing it out the window. please let me know HP doesnt support these desktops anymore on their site so even getting drivers is a pain. 

 

Thanks again.

Your computer: HP Compaq 8100 Elite Small Form Factor Business PC Specifications

 

Operating System
  • Genuine Windows Vista Business
  • Genuine Windows 7 Professional Edition
  • Windows XP Professional

 

 

Also, manuals: HP Compaq 8100 Elite Small Form Factor PC

On the same page, there is a hyperlink for "device-drivers" for Windows 7. 

 

If all else fails:

 

* power-off the computer

* hold-down any keyboard key

* power-on the computer

* wait for the "keyboard error, press <blah> to enter BIOS SETUP"

* release the held-down key, and press the <blah> key

Thank you for you post and welcome to HP Forum.

 

I understand you have concern with Advance configuration on the bios.

The Key combination for the same is F10 at the startup.

 

Also you can find the drivers for this model here.
