hey,
I was wondering how do you view the BIOS Settings? I've needed to do it before so I've never bothered learning how to do it but now it could be quite useful

when you first turn on your computer, you will get a logo screen (showing the computer or motherboard manufacturer's logo) look in the corners of the screen, it should tell you what key to push to enter the bios setup. if flashes by pretty quickly, so you may have to reboot a couple of times before you see it. Once you determine which key to use, reboot and hold that key down while it boots, and instead of loading windows, your comp will enter the bios setup screen.
if it is a store-bought computer, there won't be many settings that you can change or even view.
Don't put a question here.

It's usually Delete, F1, or F2.

Disregard Kingcody assertion that if it is a store-bought computer, there won't be many settings that you can change or even view.
The BIOS setting available to you is more than enough.
