If there is one thing that the computer manufacturers have not unified yet, that is the boot menu keys. I have always been annoyed that the memory from one PC does not translate to other PCs.
It’s baffling how computer manufacturers still haven’t agreed on a consistent way to access the BIOS. Some insist on mashing F2 during startup, while others prefer Del or Esc. And don’t get me started on UEFI vs. legacy mode! Can we just have a universal shortcut?
BIOS Menu on a PCHowever, I have listed a few famous laptop and PC manufacturers, and you can find your own in the list below. I will also tell you how to change boot priority order.Famous laptop manufacturer brands.Remember, you need to repeatedly press the mentioned keys while your computer is booting to enter the BIOS, and if one of them didn’t work, try the other mentioned keys.

BIOS Key

 
  • Acer: Del or F2
  • ASUS: F2 or Del or Esc or F10
  • Dell: F2
  • EVGA: Del
  • Fujitsu: F2
  • HP: F1 or F10 or F11
  • Lenovo:  F1 or F2
  • Micron: F1 or F2 or Del
  • Samsung: F2
  • Sharp: F2
  • Sony/ VAIO (RIP): F1 or F2 or F3 (Although most of them have a separate ASSIST key to access all the menus)
  • Toshiba: F1 or Esc
Now once you’re inside BIOS, navigate to the boot option, and find the boot priority section. There, you can refer to the side panel on how to move the options, and easily change to whichever boot drive you want to boot to. If you want to boot to a USB stick, just bring the USB HARD DRIVE to the top, and then save changes and exit.Also read: Create Bootable USB Pen Drive: Step-by-Step GuideBoot priority editing screen.That’s all for the list.
