Usually to reboot your system into the BIOS, you have to press a
7
+
button or button combination on boot. This is usually one of the
8
+
following keys:
9
+
10
+
- F2
11
+
- F10
12
+
- Escape
13
+
14
+
Sometimes you just can't get into the BIOS, but you can boot into a
15
+
Linux system. In order to force the system to reboot into the BIOS,
16
+
run this command:
17
+
18
+
```
19
+
sudo systemctl reboot --firmware
20
+
```
21
+
22
+
This will force it to go into the BIOS so you can change settings or
23
+
update the BIOS.
24
+
25
+
On Windows, search for "Advanced Startup Options" in the start menu
26
+
and click through the "yes I really need to do something advanced"
27
+
boxes until you get something on the lines of "UEFI firmware
28
+
settings". That will get you into the BIOS.
