I need to change the boot sequence to install a new OS, but the standard F-keys aren't working during the splash screen. What is the specific timing or key combination for how to launch bios on dell latitude 5450 systems?
To launch BIOS on a Dell Latitude 5450, first shut down your laptop completely. Turn it back on and immediately press F2 repeatedly until the BIOS screen appears. Use the arrow keys to navigate settings. For older Dell laptops, pressing F12 at startup can access the boot menu, then select BIOS setup if needed.
The laptop is a Dell Latitude 5450 to enter into BIOS, one has to restart or power up the laptop and press the F2 key repeatedly when the Dell logo appears. This will lead you to BIOS Setup where you can alter boot order, security or hardware. Instead press F12 to get the one-time boot menu.
