Windows 10: How To Change Boot Sequence in Win 10 -- Classic question different version

Hi


My manufacturer (Lenovo) says that:

Microsoft requires Lenovo to configure all Microsoft Windows 8 and 10 PCs with the following UEFI firmware (BIOS) settings:

• UEFI only
• Secure Boot

With these settings, it is not possible to boot a Legacy operating system such as DOS or Microsoft Windows XP. Also, it is not possible to boot an operating system that is not enabled for Secure Boot, such as Microsoft Windows 7 and certain Linux distributions.


Hence, if you need to switch boot order in order to boot from a USB device, it's not possible for a USER to do so because

the UEFI area is grey and its not possible to access it via keyboard. I use Insyde H20 vers 5 as BIOS.

What is the best step by step course action via Windows 10 to enable legacy mode in your BIOS, without the risk of screwing up

anything else?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

How To Change Boot Sequence in Win 10

I recently (June 2017) bought a Dell Inspiron 15 Gaming 7567 computer with Windows 10 installed.

I have created a backup image of the OS and also burned a bootable disk so that I can reinstall Windows 10 at a future date.

My old computer (which uses Windows 7) permits me to change the boot order sequence by using the F12 key during the startup process to access the BIOS and then edit the boot order sequence so that the machine
boots from a DVD or USB drive. This makes it possible to restore a backup image from a previous date or even to use a different OS, e.g. Linux.

My problem is that the F12 key does not work on the new machine and I do not know how to create a boot order sequence that will permit me to boot from a DVD or USB drive instead of the hard drive. So at this
point, I cannot use the bootable recovery disk that I prepared. I understand that there is now UEFI technology that controls booting.

Question: How can I make make the new computer boot from a DVD or USB drive?

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Richard

 

Changing the boot sequence on W 10

I am running a Dell computer which I upgraded from VISTA to Windows 7 and then to Windows 10. I would like to change the boot sequence. On booting there are a couple notes at the right bottom of the screen indicating "Press F2 to change settings" or
"F12 to change boot sequence". Neither of these work. Is there another way to get into BIOS to change the boot sequence?

 

Booting Sequence

Hi,

The boot order applies to any Windows operating system. It's a BIOS setting that can change the boot order of your device. What is the make and model of your device?

We suggest that you contact the manufacturer of your device for the boot sequence since some manufacturer provides certain customization on the operating system.
