I've been trying to get into the bios of a 10 year old sony AIO pc, and it gives me no option to enter the bios. It just boots straight to windows and ignores it when I spam f2. It's genuinely beginning to piss me off as I've just got this computer back from my parents and it's already screwing with me. I tried to disable fast boot, but it isn't giving me the option to. Attached below are screenshots of what happens when I try to disable it. After I press on the "Change settings that are currently unavailable" button, the damn thing still won't show up. I also tried the force shutdown method, and it didn't work at all either

f2 isn't the same everywhere, del and esc work in most cases. When quick launch isn't present, availability is limited.

Checked my model number and found that F2 was the result.

Check if it's Windows 10. If yes, press restart, hold Shift and tap 'UEFI Firmware settings'. Otherwise, use DEL to enter BIOS.

f2 isn't a standard option. Try tab, del, f10 or f11 instead.

f2 controls this PC. It functioned before, so check my earlier messages. I used esc and del as a backup, but nothing happened.

You need the boot drive for the task you're planning in the BIOS.

You're facing a frustrating issue, but adjusting the boot sequence should be straightforward. It seems like the setup process isn't working as expected. Let me help you troubleshoot!
