I just bought a laptop through Amazon, which came with Windows 11 installed.
I want to get rid of that. I have an Ubuntu image burned onto a USB stick, but it won't boot from that by default.
When I reboot the machine, it shows no instructions for accessing the BIOS, just the stupid hp logo. I tried tapping both del and f12 repeatedly, to no avail. A quick google search suggested using f2 or f12 upon seeing the logo screen. I did try both, but to no avail.
Any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong?
Basically I’m locked out of my laptop (or rather a laptop given to me by a family member who can’t remember their password)
So I’ve been trying to boot into the BIOS, but it hasn’t been working. I can’t get into the BIOS any other way because I can’t log in.
I signed into the WiFi and tried to type the wrong password in multiple times to see if it would prompt me with a password reset, but it just says I’m offline... and I am not because I see the signal says I’m connected.
On a laptop with Windows 10, how do I boot into the BIOS? If it’s with one of the F keys, do I need to hold down ‘fn’ along with the proper F key?
I’ve tried holding down f2, f6, f8, and f10 but it just boots normally. What’s going on??
