Generally, Dell uses function key F2 to get into the BIOS setup. This is usually displayed during the boot message. If you see a Dell logo when you first start your computer, hit escape to clear the logo and see the setup prompt. You need to do this before the computer starts to boot, so hit escape as soon as you see the logo. Sometimes, the LCD screen does not come up fast enough when you are starting the PC cold, so you might have to reboot. I hate to bang away at the same issue, but this is all available at the Dell website. Unless you stole this computer, they will be happy to help you via web or phone support. Even if you bought the computer used, they will assist you.
