    no bios


    build 9926 works ok but if i try to access bios nothing happens , i don't get (bsod) but nothing happens, i have access bios in the past before, i was going to experiment when i notice that no matter what i try system does not respond if i tap on Delete, i also try Tab, F12, F9, END, but nothing , all i do after trying is press restart and pc starts normal, is there any thing i can do short off re installing.

    Turn off fast startup.

    This is normal behavior for pc with old bios. No need to reinstall.

    Then, I must have an "abnormal" machine -- because it uses the old "legacy" BIOS and I have no problems getting into it, whether FastStartup is enabled or disabled. Besides, I thought FastStartup only affected the new "hibernation" implemented initially in Win8. I've not seen anything linking it to boot problems.

    Are you sure you're not meaning Fast Boot -- which is entirely different?

    If you have a UEFI rather than a BIOS, restart while holding down "Shift"
    That'lll get you to the screens where you can choose startup options (to include the UEFI).

    FWIW - my VM doesn't have a setting for the UEFI, so I suspect it's still using the BIOS.

    Your System Specs does seem to imply newer hardware so UEFI most likely is the issue. I have Win10 on a 7-year-old Dell Desktop that came with Vista and a 4-5-year-old Toshiba Notebook, both had bare drives and Win10 installed without reference to UEFI.
