    Boot to UEFI Firmware Settings from inside Windows 10


    Hello Peter, *Smile

    Usually, you can also perform a hard shutdown or restart 2 to 3 times in a row to be able to access advanced startup to get to the UEFI firmware settings.

  2. Hello Brink and thank you for your reply.
    I am feeling rather dim here as I don't know what you mean by a hard shutdown or how that gets me into UEFI settings.
    Any chance of a little more detail?

    A hard shutdown is pressing the power button on the computer case until the PC powers off. Doing that 2 to 3 times in a row will often trigger booting to Windows recovery (WinRE) to be able to boot to advanced startup where you can use the same method in the tutorial for UEFI firmware settings.

    Hello Brink,
    Thanks for the tutorial. Meanwhile, many users will be using both SSD(s) and HDD(s)

    The SSD(s) may be based on MBR whereas the HDDs are using GPT.

    For example: I have 2 SSD's and multiple HDD's.
    The HDD's are all GPT and SSD's are MBR.

    Below you see the boot SSD containing reserved space and a recovery partition (created at the CU update)

    First of all: question is whether SSD can be changed from MBR to GPT without harm.
    (Any pros/cons)
    Secondly I assume that Windows needs to be re-installed from scratch.

    Thanks @Brink

    Regretfully it is installed in 'Legacy BIOS-mode'.

    Frankly, I looked over the screenshots I made during the setup, but I did not see an option to install it differently (=in UEFI mode).

    Thanks.
    In order not to make a mess asking questions about a different matter, I have posted my questions under

    obviously there is some overlapping, which please accept.

    This takes more time and more effort than simply restarting and waiting for the moment to spam the Delete or F2 buttons. This method requires the PC to restart twice. Why does this tutorial exist? ASUS has a utility which can restart directly from Windows into the UEFI in a single restart but this feature (the one detailed in this tutorial) seems totally pointless.

    Not all devices have such facilities. On many, particularly with SSDs and fastboot enabled, spamming does not get you to bios as it boots too quick. Worse still, some devices are UEFI only, and legacy bios spamming does not work.

    Boot to UEFI Firmware Settings from inside Windows 10

    This tutorial exists to help make people aware of this option from within Windows 10 (if able) since it's not always as easy to do at boot.

    The multiple restarting you're referring to is referenced in Option 6 of the tutorial below instead. That's not what this tutorial is about since it's not from within Windows 10.
