Pavilion 15
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have a HP Pavilion 15 that I upgraded to Windows 10 fairly recently, and I set about to disable the function key shortcuts so that they could be used in games.  Unsure how to do this, I looked it up and was told that I needed to open the BIOS on startup and change settings from there.  I know how to do this on Windows 7 but there does not seem to be a way to open BIOS on startup with windows 10.  Could someone tell me how to access the BIOS or how to disable the Function key shortcuts in a different way?

Hi,

 

You should be able to access the Bios Menu as follows.

 

Shut down the notebook. 

 

Tap away at the esc key as soon as you start the notebook to enter the Start-up Menu, then select f10 to enter the Bios Menu.

 

You can then change the default action as shown in the document on the following link.
