How do I get to my laptop BIOS?

[grantbotes]

I recently bought an HP Pavilion 15 laptop that identifies itself as HP Pavilion Laptop 15-cc5xx. It runs Windows 10 Home 64. I am very disappointed with it, as it is a 7th Gen Core i5 with 8 gigs RAM but I find it quite slow, and it freezes constantly for no reason I can determine. However, I digress. I am trying to find out how I can access the BIOS on this laptop. All the docs I can find say to press F10 during startup, but that doesn't do anything. I just end up at the Windows screen. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

Hi:

On most of these new PC's you have to tap the ESC key at the beginning of the HP welcome screen and then you will get a list of options.

From that list, select the F10 system setup option to get access to the BIOS.

Thank you - that did the trick!
