I own two old Dell laptops, an E6430 and an Inspiron 1420. They had some strange settings in the BIOS. Sometimes I get a message that says to press F1 or F2 if you want to keep going. Do these older Dells have any trouble? Thanks.

Turn off that prompt from the BIOS settings. It's pretty easy to do, right? LOLP OG

There is usually more on the screen above that error to say why as there are multiple reasons why that will show and most have different fixes.
