Product: Elitebook
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

How do I access the BIOS please? The information given in the documentation does not work. Pressing F10 when the initial HP logo appears at startup does not work - normal bootup occurs. Pressing F10 before the logo does not work. Holding down F10 does not work. Doing these with and without the Function key does not work - all lead to a normal bootup. I tried pressing Esc instead as getting to a menu of some sort seemed reasonable - normal bootup.

HP Elitebook. Windows 10 64 bit. BIOS and firmware up to date Jan 21st 2021 according to my system information.

Thank you. I thought I had tried all the alternatives of repeat holds, keeping pressed etc. That worked. Thanks.

I have no intention of fiddling with the BIOS at the moment but I dislike having a computer and not knowing how to get "in". I have had this Elitebook three months, and an HP update of the BIOS reminded me that I had no idea how to access it if I needed

Thanks again
