Exactly the same as you use a BIOS setup key (typically DEL or F2) specific to the various brands and their BIOS: BBS Boot Keys [*]ASRock F11 [*]Asus F8 [*]Biostar F9 [*]Dell F12 [*]eCS F12 or F10 [*]eMachines F10 [*]EVGA F7 [*]Gigabyte F12 [*]HP F9 or ESC or ESC,F9 [*]Intel F10 [*]Lenovo F12 or F8 or F10 [*]MSI F11 [*]Toshiba F12 What does BBS mean in BIOS? Short for BIOS boot specification, BBS is a BIOS (basic input/output system) feature that creates, maintains, and prioritizes all the IPL (initial program load) devices. While the computer is booting, each IPL device is checked to see if it's bootable. <https://www.computerhope.com/jargon/b/bbs.htm> -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
