If you have UEFI, try this: UEFI Firmware Settings - Boot to from inside Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums
If legacy BIOS, from cold boot (power off, let sit a few minutes, power on), at the OEM logo (like Dell or HP in your case), press F8 repeatedly (tap-tap-tap-tap) until BIOS options appear.
Found this in the user manual for your laptop:
HP PCs - Configuring the Boot Order in the System BIOS | HP® Customer Support
- Turn on or restart the computer.
- While the display is blank, press the f10 key to enter the BIOS settings menu.
note:
The BIOS settings menu is accessible by pressing the f2 or the f6 key on some computers.

Hi there,
Thanks for the reply. I tried that and it doesn't work.When it boots up, it doesn't show the esc key to enter into bios. What else should I do?
It most likely will not show it, you just have to repeatedly tap (not hold down) the proper key (don't think it was ESC). Your laptop manual has F10, but you can try F8. You have to do this BEFORE it gets past the logo screen or it's too late. If you have UEFI, the first method should work.
That worked. I now have access to the bios . I have tried several times and it worked everytime. Thanks so much for your help guys.
The shift key and restart
