    Accessing UEFI


    I would like to know which key or combination of keys am I suppose to press in order to gain access to the unified extensible firmware interface on my laptop. My laptop is a toshiba satellite C50t-A, running on Windows 10 Enterprise.


    Thanks in advance.

  3. how to access UEFI

    UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) is an interface, not a storage location. Are you thinking of your UEFI partition? Why would you want to access it? You might cause damage to the boot environment.

    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.

    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
