Laptop pavilion 15-DA1000NL
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Good Morning from Italy, 

I'm using my laptop with a external monitor, keyboard and mouse. In order to avoid to use the botton "power on " of laptop, I kindly ask You how is possible to configure more buttons (two buttons for example) of the external keyboard for the power on.

Using F10 during the restart, there is a BIOS menu but I didn't find the  options " power", where, If I remember well, you can setting the bottons of keyboard.

Thanks in advance

Demy

@Demy_italy 

You might NOT be able to do this.

 

To check if you CAN, you need to go into the BIOS/UEFI settings for Booting and see if there is an option to allow the PC to be turned on using the keyboard.

 

If there is, it will want to know whether to press "any" key or a specific key.

Hello WAWood,

As said before, it seems that in new generation of HP pavilion the BIOS/UEFI  has not the option ""Power management" . Therefore, I ask to the community, There is a different way to set the "power on by keyboard? 

Thanks a lot for your prompt answer

Demy
