So how do I do that? I just saw multiple articles that said Win8 is the first Windows that doesn't let you access bios before booting.

That's if you have fast boot I believe. Even then, literally just disconnect your hard drive and get into the bios

>>59099361
The operating system lives on the hard drive
It has no say over whether or not you can get at the BIOS, unless the machine wasnt actually off all the way

I read that because the boot is so fast and you would only have 200ms to hit the button, they removed the possibility to access bios on start-up completely.

Holy fuck you're retarded.
