However, there are certain options that cannot be customized using the front-end of Windows 10 such as pre-boot options, hardware configuration, and boot order of the drives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BIOS is a firmware that is used to access these crucial-to-function options in any computer system. Whenever a PC is switched on, BIOS is the first thing that loads on the OS. It is essential for the proper functioning of all system processes. It also makes the operating system more personalized and intuitive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To understand and utilize the full potential of BIOS, we need to know about its functions and operation. In this article, we will discuss everything you need to know about BIOS.&nbsp; We will also provide a step-by-step guide to access BIOS in Windows 10&nbsp;for ease of operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_17 counter-hierarchy counter-decimal ez-toc-grey\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class=\"ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1\"><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#What_is_BIOS\" title=\"What is BIOS?\">What is BIOS?<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#Basic_functions_of_BIOS\" title=\"Basic functions of BIOS\">Basic functions of BIOS<\/a><ul class=\"ez-toc-list-level-3\"><li class=\"ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#Power-On_Self_Test_POST\" title=\"Power-On Self Test (POST)\">Power-On Self Test (POST)<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#System_startup\" title=\"System startup\">System startup<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#Drive_and_hardware_functioning\" title=\"Drive and hardware functioning&nbsp;\">Drive and hardware functioning&nbsp;<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#Temporary_data_storage\" title=\"Temporary data storage\">Temporary data storage<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#BIOS_vs_UEFI\" title=\"BIOS vs UEFI\">BIOS vs UEFI<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#How_to_access_BIOS_in_Windows_10\" title=\"How to access BIOS in Windows 10?\">How to access BIOS in Windows 10?<\/a><ul class=\"ez-toc-list-level-3\"><li class=\"ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#Go_to_Settings\" title=\"Go to Settings\">Go to Settings<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#Click_on_Update_Security\" title=\"Click on \u201cUpdate &amp; Security\u201d\">Click on \u201cUpdate &amp; Security\u201d<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-11\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#Select_the_Recovery_tab_and_then_click_on_Restart_now\" title=\"Select the \u201cRecovery\u201d tab and then click on \u201cRestart now\u201d\">Select the \u201cRecovery\u201d tab and then click on \u201cRestart now\u201d<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-12\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#Click_on_Troubleshoot\" title=\"Click on \u201cTroubleshoot\u201d\">Click on \u201cTroubleshoot\u201d<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-13\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#Go_to_UEFI_Firmware_Settings\" title=\"Go to \u201cUEFI Firmware Settings\u201d\">Go to \u201cUEFI Firmware Settings\u201d<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-14\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#BIOS_update\" title=\"BIOS update\">BIOS update<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-15\" href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/how-to-access-bios-in-windows-10\/#Conclusion\" title=\"Conclusion\">Conclusion<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"what-is-bios\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_BIOS\"><\/span><strong>What is BIOS?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>BIOS stands for Basic Input\/Output System. It is programmed on an erasable, programmable, read-only memory chip or EPROM. It is a piece of integrated machinery that is directly connected to the motherboard of the computer. BIOS functions as storage that retains data from the last Windows operation and retrieves it when the PC is switched back on. Therefore, it controls all the programs running in an OS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BIOS also manages the data flow between the computer\u2019s operating system and its attached devices such as the keyboard, mouse, or printer. So, each time you switch on your PC, BIOS runs a Power-On Self Test or POST that identifies all the devices connected to the system and ensures their proper functioning. If any error is encountered, it immediately displays a message. All these processes are completed in just a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"basic-functions-of-bios\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Basic_functions_of_BIOS\"><\/span><strong>Basic functions of BIOS<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>BIOS is majorly responsible for loading the operating system whenever a PC is switched on. It is vital for most modern computers as it performs the following functions to ensure optimal functioning of all the components in an OS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/images.saasworthy.com\/blog_latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4038\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-112x75.jpg 112w, https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-2048x1368.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-270x180.jpg 270w, https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-770x515.jpg 770w, https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/3-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"power-on-self-test-post\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Power-On_Self_Test_POST\"><\/span>Power-On Self Test (POST)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>BIOS performs Power-On Self Test or POST as the first thing after the computer is switched on. While running POST, BIOS ensures that all the computer hardware and its connected devices are functioning properly. In case of any error, BIOS immediately sends out an alert in the form of an error message displayed on the screen. Alternatively, the system may emit repeated beeps to imply malfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"system-startup\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"System_startup\"><\/span>System startup<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After POST analysis, BIOS runs bootstrap loader. It is a program designed to locate an operating system within the hard drives boot sector. The bootstrap loader loads the OS into the memory. The system boots normally if everything is functioning properly.&nbsp;<em><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"drive-and-hardware-functioning\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Drive_and_hardware_functioning\"><\/span>Drive and hardware functioning&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>BIOS is a part of ROM that is attached to the computer\u2019s motherboard. Even after the system is switched on, running BIOS continues to work in the background. It retrieves the location of drives and executes it in the right socket of the system. This enables automated access to all the files stored in the system without making the user locate each of them manually.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"temporary-data-storage\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Temporary_data_storage\"><\/span>Temporary data storage<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CMOS or Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor is a chip-based technology that retains information of all the programs after the system is shut down. BIOS controls the CMOS functioning and retrieves information from it to recover data in case of power failure. Therefore, it prevents any data loss in the case of an abrupt system shutdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the major functions mentioned above, BIOS setup can also be used to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Change the boot order of devices connected to the system.<\/li><li>Set and change the date, time, and password of the system.<\/li><li>Change the function of the Fn keys.
