Change Bios order for Windows 10
Changing the Bios order in Windows 10
If you want to install Windows on your computer , the boot order must be changed under certain circumstances. This is the case, for example, if the installation programme is to start from a USB stick. In this article we show you how to adjust the order.
First of all: Not every BIOS system is the same! Elements are sometimes arranged differently. Nevertheless, the principle is identical for every system.
- When you restart or switch on your computer, you must press one of the following keys immediately after starting: F2, F8, F10 or DEL. You can also press all the keys in succession here after the start to open the BIOS. Nothing can happen! On some computers, the hint with the appropriate BIOS key is also displayed at start-up.
- If you have successfully started the BIOS, you can now move through the menu with the arrow keys. Open the entry „Boot“ by pressing the „Enter“ key.
- At the top you will see the entry „Boot Device Priority“. Confirm with „Enter“ to open this item.
- Now the overview with the set boot order opens. This is divided into the items „1st, 2nd and 3rd„. Use the arrow keys to move up or down. If you press the Enter key, the drive to be booted changes at each individual point. Now you can adjust the drive to be booted with the Windows installation so that it is under „1st“. If the installation file is on a DVD in the DVD drive, the entry „CD-ROM“ must be activated here. If it is a USB stick, this can also be selected.
- Once all settings have been made, you can exit the BIOS menu by pressing the Esc key. When prompted, press the Enter key to save the changed settings. Now the installation can begin.
