How to access bios on Acer laptop

Hi friends, this video will show you how to get into BIOS on an Acer Laptop.

For most Acer laptops, the key you use to enter BIOS is F2, and as with all computers, you enter BIOS as the computer is booting up. However, unlike on many laptops, ACER recommends that you press and hold the F2 key before you switch on the power. Hold down the key until the BIOS screen is displayed; otherwise, your laptop might not recognize that you want to enter BIOS and may start up in the usual way.

F2 is the traditional ACER access-BIOS key, but there are other options you can try if it doesn't work for your laptop.

On some ACER laptop models, you may need to use another key to enter BIOS. The most common alternative key is the "Delete" key, but if it doesn't work, try the "Insert" key. In rare cases, the correct key is F10.

From Windows 8 onward, Microsoft added options to make it easier to get into your BIOS settings. If you're looking for an ACER BIOS key for Windows 10, you can use a different approach. Click the "Start" menu and then choose the gear icon to go to "Settings." Select "Update & Security" from the options that appear, and choose the "Recovery" tab on the left of the next window.

Scroll down to "Advanced startup" and click "Restart now." This action restarts your computer and takes you to a boot options screen instead of starting Windows normally. Choose "Troubleshoot," then "Advanced options" and go to "UEFI Firmware Settings." Click "Restart," and your computer restarts again and takes you to BIOS.

Thank you very much. Holding F2 before turning on power on my ACER was exactly the ticket. Cheers

I can enter bios via f2 but it doesnt show advanced options. I need that to enable hardware virtualization. What do I do?

So windows recently updated my desktop to windows 11. but all the available bios for my specific device are only available in windows 10. Would I potentially damage my PC by downloading a bios or driver originally meant for Windows 10? Is it better that I just leave it alone? Thanks in advance
