Old PC users like to control things - one of them is the way and order their operating system loads. That's why you might be terrified to know, that Windows 8 + UEFI compatible motherboard or laptop, equals zaro control of BIOS.
The reason for that is that UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) connects your UEFI compatible OS (windows 8) with BIOS on a very low level, which allows you to control BIOS directly from your OS.
So, you (for some reason) hate that UEFI thing and want to do whatever you like with your laptop or desktop PC.
If you cannot enter bios on a windows 8 factory installed PC or notebook, follow these steps:
1. Enter Windows 8, start typing BIOS and the search field will appear. Select Settings below, type bios in the search field, click on the only option available (advanced startup options).
2.Select General, scroll down to the bottom and select Advanced startup-> Restart now
3. Then select Troubleshoot, then Advanced Firmware settings ->Restart
4.After that you can see the lovely "press some key to configure BIOS". In bios, find and disable UEFI (switch to legacy) boot.
Good luck!
