How Do You Access Compaq Presario Laptop BIOS Settings?
To access BIOS settings, a function key or key combination is pressed at the start of the boot-up process. When the BIOS is accessed, a series of screens will enable the user to edit and save settings, change the boot order of devices and make other alterations to the computer’s BIOS. On Compaq Presario laptops, invoking the BIOS interface requires a key combination to be pressed and held at a specific moment during the boot-up process. Power down the laptop. Make sure computer is off, not just suspended or sleeping. Press the power button to boot up the laptop. When the large Compaq logo appears, press and hold the “Ctrl,” “Alt” and “Esc” (control, alt, escape) keys. The BIOS interface will appear.
