What are the functions of the F Keys during boot? When having problems I have been give various F-Keys to use upon booting. It would be nice to just have a list of the function of the F-keys for reference. I am using Windows 7 on a desktop computer.

Thanks a bunch, Uncle Dewey

    That doesn’t tell us a whole heck of a lot. The make/model of the system (or motherboard) are required. All systems are different. Most retail motherboards use the Del key to access the BIOS, but it can be others. OEM boards use a variety of possibilities depending on the OEM, but usually F1, F2, or F10. Tab & Esc are other keys that are used for different things. F5 is often used to bring up the boot menu & F8 will get you into Windows Safe mode, up to & including Win7. Win8/10 use a totally different method.
