The laptop that I have is Intel Core i-3 GHZ, the software itself is windows 8.1 (including the most recent updates). I did not build it nor have I modded anything from factory settings and the computer came with Windows 8 when I bought it.

I have been completely unable to access my BIOS, I've tried Delete/F2/F12 and it seems no matter what I do it completely ignores the key strokes and sends it directly into the log-in screen.

I've been advised to do the following;

In Metro, go to the bottom right and in the hover menu select Settings
GO to General
Go to Advanced
Go to Boot to UEFI (or something like that).

I was unable to find the General or Advanced settings much less the actual spot I needed. Any help on this issue is much appreciated.
 
Can direct you to Startup settings, but not heard of one to boot to UEFI, unless it's an Asus extra!
Windows key plus C
Settings
Power button
Select 'Restart' whilst holding down Shift key.
Then it's 'Troubleshoot' followed by 'Advanced Options' then 'Startup Settings'
Hope you find what you're looking for...
EDIT Just discovered it's one of the 'Advanced Options'!


Meanwhile Alt + F2 at Power on works for some...
