I'm using a second-hand PC, it's my first one, and I can't get into the BIOS. I tried repeatedly pressing F2/F10 and deleting, but nothing works. The motherboard is a Z370 HD3P by Gigabyte. I've seen videos suggesting turning off fast startup, but that doesn't seem to help. I don't even see the motherboard logo before seeing the Windows logo. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Ensure the window loads by pressing Delete immediately. For BIOS setup, hold Shift while restarting and select the correct options afterward.

I'm using a 60% keyboard and will attempt the shift method.

Do you have Windows 10? You can initiate a restart using the BIOS settings.

To access the BIOS on a Windows 10 system, begin by opening Settings. Reach it through the Start menu’s gear icon. ... Choose Update & Security. ... From there, pick Recovery. ... Under Advanced startup, select Restart Now. ... After that, go to Troubleshoot and then Advanced options. Select UEFI Firmware Settings. ... Finally, click Restart.

So it functioned until the UEFI firmware settings section, which wasn't available to me.

It assisted in getting into recovery mode, but then I pressed restart and then repeatedly deleted files. This resulted in a flashing white line appearing at the top left of my screen. I’m not sure what to do next.

This system was not originally assembled. You mentioned purchasing it used, but it appears to be a branded model.

Someone else created it. I saw a site saying if you're using Bios mode on legacy mode, it won't work. It doesn't explain how to fix it, which is confusing. I need to switch from MBR to GPT, but that could risk damaging my drive. What should I do?
