Installing Linux Operating System on Your PC
How to Get to Boot Menu?
At the point when a computer is starting up, you can get to the Boot Menu by pressing some keys. The keys that are generally used to open the Boot Menu are Esc, F2, F10 or F12, which relies on the companies of the computers or motherboards. To know which key works for your system you can take a look at the below-mentioned table where I list the boot option keys for all computers and laptops with the BIOS option.
Here you’ll find out what keyboard key you’ll need to press in order to access your computer’s boot menu or BIOS menu. The keys vary from computer to computer, so be sure to check what key works for yours!
