Windows Vista boots past BIOS straight into Vista!?

Joshua_the_Seer · Jan 2, 2017

My Windows Vista PC doesn't display any BIOS options before launching Windows Vista.
No "F11 for BIOS" (etc) nothing... Just black screen, then Windows Vista Logo...
I'm trying to boot up from a Windows 10 USB stick...
Can someone tell me how to access BIOS without actually seeing it?
Is there a way around this?

Start hammering keys till you get in or find out what key it's supposed to be. Sometimes it's F2, Delete, F10. Lots of different ones to try.

I've tried button mashing with no success...

1. The Delete key works for most computers.... just start taping it quickly as soon as you press the power button

2. If you can see the motheboard manufacturer logo, that's the right moment to press the DEL key, or the key indicated in the link below for the computer or motherboard brand.

3. Reset the BIOS either removing the battery or moving the BIOS jumper from pins 1 & 2 to 2 & 3. This should reset the BIOS to default settings to show the Post screen. http://www.wikihow.com/Reset-Your-BIOS

4. The linked page has information to enter the BIOS in any computer
