Hi @Raul34,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

The Startup Menu on your HP laptop provides access to various functions and tools. Here is a detailed explanation of each option.

• F1 System Information: This option provides detailed information about your laptop, including the model number, serial number, BIOS version, processor type, memory size, and more. It's useful for identifying the exact specifications of your laptop.
• F2 System Diagnostics: This option allows you to run hardware diagnostics to check the health and functionality of your laptop's components, such as the hard drive, memory, and processor. It can help identify hardware issues and troubleshoot problems.
• F9 Boot Device Options: This option lets you choose a temporary boot device for the current startup. It allows you to boot from different devices such as a USB drive, CD/DVD, or network. This is useful for installing a new operating system or running a live OS.
• F10 BIOS Setup: This option takes you to the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) setup utility, where you can configure hardware settings, manage boot order, enable or disable hardware components, and set security features like passwords. It's essential for advanced configuration and troubleshooting.
• F11 System Recovery: This option starts the HP Recovery Manager, which allows you to restore your laptop to its original factory settings. This can be used to recover from severe software issues, malware infections, or to reinstall the operating system. Be aware that using this option typically erases all personal data, so it's important to back up your files before proceeding.

To access the Startup Menu, restart your laptop and repeatedly press the Esc key until the Startup Menu appears. From there, you can press the corresponding function key (F1, F2, F9, F10, or F11) to access the desired option.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
