Hello!

I have an old computer, the HP Compaq 8200 Elite Base Model Convertible Minitower PC and I have a problem. I can't open the BIOS. I have seen that I have the BIOS legacy if that helps. I have also tried as the computer opens to press ESC, F2, F5, F12 and DELETE but none of them worked, just opened Windows 11 normally

Hi:

 

I have two HP 8200 Elite CMT PC's running W11 Pro 64 bit.

 

I installed W11 in UEFI mode by booting from the EFI USB boot source instead of the legacy one.

 

In order to access the BIOS or access the boot options menu you need to:

 

Tun on or restart the PC.

 

Immediately press/tap the ESC key to get the menu of options.

 

Select the F10 setup option to get access to the BIOS or select the F9 boot options menu to boot from an external source.

As I turn on the computer, should I press ESC continuously or prolonged?
