Bios inaccessible Solved

Question

Hello,
so here's the thing, I need your help. I have a Toshiba Satellite C850-1M4 laptop that I bought with Windows 8 around the end of July, which I upgraded to Windows 8 Pro because I wasn't really a fan of Win 8. Everything went smoothly, I updated the drivers, etc. Anyway, recently I've been sharing my PC with my sister who needs it, so I installed TeamViewer to keep an eye on what she's doing and to help her if needed, and I wanted to use Wake on LAN since she doesn't even know how to turn it on -_-'... And here's my problem, I read that to use Wake on LAN I need to enable a setting in the BIOS, but I can't access it! I've tried all the F keys as well as Escape, but I can't get in! If someone could tell me why and how to access it, that would be great :D!

Regards,

Ok, it's super simple, you're going to do a CMOS clear, basically you're resetting the BIOS settings to zero.
You turn off your PC, open your PC, and you look for a small CR2032 button battery on the motherboard,
and you remove this battery for 1 or 2 hours, then put it back and turn your PC on, and there you go.

Thank you for your quick response, but isn't there another way without having to open my PC? It's not really my thing, so I'm a bit afraid of destroying everything ^^'

Hello

Here's what you can find when visiting the "Toshiba" website regarding the "Satellite C850":

BIOS Setup Pages

When the laptop is turned off (not in sleep or hibernation), you can use one of the methods below (depending on your computer model) to directly access the BIOS setup pages.
Disconnect the external keyboard, if applicable, so you can proceed with the BIOS configuration update.

Esc Key (Toshiba BIOS)
Press and hold the Esc key.
Turn on the computer.
Press the F1 key when prompted.
The first BIOS setup page will appear.

F2 Key (other BIOS)
Turn on the computer.
Press the F2 key when prompted.
The first BIOS setup page will appear.

Maybe it's because of the change to Windows 7? I remember having to change UEFI, maybe there's a connection?
