If your pc is booting to os then you type msconfig in run command then in the next opening window under boot tab uncheck safe boot box
and click OK. restart the pc and go into bios by pressing delete key it should go into bios.
Thanks

which version of Windows are you running ? if its windows 10 goto settings (the new control panel) - update and security - recovery - advanced startup - restart now button.

When you come to the blue screen select troubleshoot - Advanced - UEFI firmware settings - restart button, its should power down and boot to your bios itself.

It will reset your bios, however, it should then force you to enter then bios to reconfigure it.

Which motherboard is it, the vendor may have some software which will boot your PC to the bios, like Gigabyte fast boot utility.

Another thing I just read, you can try and reboot, as soon as the screen goes black, hold down multiple keys on the keyboard, keep them held down, the idea is to create a fake keyboard error and the PC should halt allowing you into the bios

Not go into the bios, but halt, it will then say on the screen theres been a keyboard error and give you an option to enter the bios, in theory.
