One of the most important components of a PC is the motherboard, which is responsible for the coordinated operation of many of the components of the device. It also has its own software, which it uses to operate the BIOS or Basic Input Output System.
This software has a rather extensive functionality to control the device. For example, to initialise the virtualisation function, it is necessary to enable this feature in the processor's config just through BIOS. A more functional and modern analogue of this firmware is UEFI.
In this article we will consider how you can get into the BIOS on different systems!
Open BIOS
On different models of motherboards, the manufacturer has laid different functionality to open this software, let's consider the most popular of them and step-by-step steps to work with them. Restart the device and wait for the logo of your OS, for example, they may look like this:
Or they could look like this, it all depends on which board manufacturer you have:
Note that already at the bottom at startup there should be prompts, how exactly in your case you can open the BIOS. Choose BIOS Setup or To enter setup. After that you should get to the management menu, for your board you can find the command below:
To work with the BIOS you will be presented with a menu that has items to control the device:
Each manufacturer, again, has their own menu and tabs, however, they are often repetitive. To change the boot device, you can change the Boot Priority setting or go to the menu entirely. The functionality is almost unlimited and is a huge list of options and features. If you don't have sufficient resources than you can perform actions on powerful cloud servers. Serverspace provides isolated VPS / VDS servers for common and virtualize usage.
