I no longer have access to my HP Omen 15 BIOS.

Hello or Good evening (as appropriate),

Thank you for helping me as I am completely lost. My HP Omen 15 no longer gives me access to the BIOS to boot from a USB stick, for example. I have tried the "ESC" key, F8, F10 and nothing works. The only one that responds at startup is the F1 key, which gives me information about the BIOS.

I don’t know what to do anymore, as I need to access it to choose the boot hard drive and especially to try, as I often do, Live versions of LINUX.

Is there any way to fix this?

Please note that I performed a BIOS update two days ago, an update suggested by the HP assistant. It went well, except that I don't know how to proceed now.

Please help me!

Thank you in advance

Rick

    Hello everyone,

    Sometimes just holding down isn't enough. You have to "tap" the key.
    Regards!

      Hello,

      I don't want to restart mine, from HP, just to check.

      Accessing the BIOS is done by tapping F10.

      But there is also normally an ESC option at startup that leads to a number of choices, including the boot device by pressing F9.

        The boot menu is for defining the storage device from which we want to boot; this is not the same thing, this menu is specific to HP, the boot menu, to the BIOS. (when it exists)

    Hello,

    generally at HP the startup keys are: 

    F9: Boot menu (what you're looking for)
    F10: access to the BIOS. 

    There are two techniques, at startup you can either hold the key down or tap the key until the desired menu appears.

      Thank you for the response and the advice.

      Hey, I haven't tried F9 but I'll definitely do it as soon as I'm back home.

      Best regards

    Hello

    The "boot menu" seems to be disappearing, I've had several HPs and they didn't have it anymore, including on professional models, I currently have a Pavilion without this menu.

    I confirm that F10 is indeed the key to enter the BIOS, but be careful, it is impossible to access it by starting the computer normally (after selecting "start" then "shut down"), you need to restart the PC while it is turned on. It's only then that you can access it.
