BIOS entry please

Hello everybody, Have a problem with my Laptop please.

It will not start up to the Windows Screen and I cannot seem to enter the BIOS to Install one of my Windows 10 USB dongles.

I keep getting a Boot Manager screen that says up & down arrows
to change options. ENTER to select.

  • Try Accessing BIOS/UEFI Settings:

    • Restart the Laptop: If you haven't already, restart your laptop.
    • Enter BIOS/UEFI: As your laptop starts up, repeatedly press the appropriate key to enter BIOS/UEFI.
    • Common keys include F2, DEL, F10, F12, or ESC—it depends on the manufacturer. Look for a prompt on the screen during startup that indicates which key to press.
    • If Your Laptop Boots to Boot Manager Again: If you can’t get into BIOS, try pressing the key repeatedly as soon as you turn the laptop on, before it reaches the Boot Manager screen.

    Ensure that your Windows 10 USB dongle is properly created as a bootable drive. Use tools like the Windows Media Creation Tool to ensure it’s correctly set up.
