access BIOS settings in Win 10

I have an 8-year old computer running Win 10. I need to access the BIOS settings. It used to be the holding down the F2 key during startup would bring up the BIOS screen in Windows computers. But this no longer works. A web article listed a complicated
series of steps leading to a reboot . . . but still no access to BIOS. Any suggestions?

 

BSoD & boot order changes by itself in BIOS

Two issues happening at random times:

1. BSoD
   
2. "An operating system wasn't found" during startup. When I look into the BIOS, sometimes the boot priority changed by itself to the drive with no OS (Samsung SSD 850 Pro 512GB) , sometimes the hard drive with OS completely disappears (Samsung 970 EVO 1TB M.2 NVMe)
   

Troubleshooting tried so far:

1. No dump file created after BSoD
   
2. chkdsk
   
3. MemTest86
   
4. Latest BIOS flashed
   
5. Latest drivers (GPU, WiFi etc.)
   
6. Samsung Magician SSD management utility
   
7. BIOS battery voltage is 3.2v
   
8. Screws/cables not loose
   
9. Formatted hard drive before reinstalling OS
   
10. No overclocking
    

Config:
Both Win 10 and Win 11 tried, OS is installed on the M.2 NVMe, Gigabyte B250-HD3, NVIDIA 1050 Ti, Intel i5-7500

 

gigabyte Z370 HD3 + Samsung EVO 970 won't install Windows 10

Newly assembled system:

• Gigabyte Z370 HD3 V1.0 motherboard
  
• Intel i7-8700 CPU
  
• 2x DDR4-3200 16GB RAM (F4-3200C16D-32GVK)
  
• Samsung EVO 970 500 GB M.2 SSD (MZ-V6E500)
  
• Thermaltake TR2 S 500 W PSU (TRS-0500P-2)
  
• Deepcool Tesseract case (seems doesn't matter)
  

All components come new, unpacked.

Windows 10 Pro installation failed at the step "Getting files ready for installation." when about 70-80% complete.

I used both the original Windows 10 Pro DVD and a USB stick prepared by a Microsoft tool; the result is the same.

I tried to use the pre-installation SATA driver from the Gigabyte website.
Once I installed this driver at the step "Where do you want to install Windows", my M2 drive had disappeared from the list.

The same situation repeated with another set of components.

By the way, when I try the same set of components but with an ASUS Z370-P motherboard, there is no problem with Windows 10 installation.

I still need to assemble some systems with Gigabyte motherboards.

Update: It was easy to install Windows 10 on the SATA SSD. Same conditions: Gigabyte motherboard, but SATA SSD instead of M2 SSD.

Any suggestion what to do in order to install Window properly?
