    How to change boot order in BIOS with Aptio Setup Utility?


    I can’t figure out how to change boot order in Aptio setup (American Megatrends) for a new laptop with no CD/DVD, Windows 10. (image attached)

    I would like to use bootable Macrium Rescue Disc, and need this boot sequence:
    1. USB flash drive
    2. Hard Disc

    You should move your cursor down to Boot Option #7, then I believe it is the plus and minus keys (+/-) to move that option up or down.

    Note too that your BIOS likely also has a hotkey that you can press before Windows begins to load that will allow you to override the setting in your BIOS and select a one-time device to boot from.

    If you post the make and model of your system I may be able to give you something more specific.

    Hello @jason2004,

    System Specifications

    Please update your system specifications [ system AND hardware ] by editing your profile. It will allow us to give you more specific advice and help! . . .

    > How to Fill in your System Specs at Ten Forums.

    To make this process easier for you, there is an automated method that you can use by clicking the Download button at the top of the Tutorial. It contains a standalone .exe file delivered in a .zip file. You just need to Unzip the file and Run SystemInfo.exe. Please note that this file does NOT save ANYTHING to your computer.

    Thanks.

    Thank you for taking your time to try to help.
    I was able to change boot order following your advice.
    Previously I was using USB Hard Drive option that didn’t work, instead of USB Key. That got me confused.

    BTW, I don’t see any option for hotkey configuration.

    @Paul Black
    Thank you for reminder. System specifications are updated.

    I'm having a hard time finding anything on Hometech, but you might want to try experimenting. Typical hot keys are ESC, F9, F10, F11, DEL.

    As an example, my HP responds to all these hotkeys during boot:

    ESC: Startup Menu
    F1: System Information
    F2: System Diagnostics
    F7: HP Sparekey
    F9: Boot Device Options <--- This is what we were discussing. This allows me to select a device to boot from one time.
    F10: BIOS Setup
    F11: System Recovery
