Boot menu
Press <F12> when the Dell logo appears to initiate a one-time boot menu with a list of the valid boot devices for the system. Diagnostics
and BIOS Setup options are also included in this menu. The devices listed on the boot menu depend on the bootable devices in the system.
This menu is useful when you are attempting to boot to a particular device or to bring up the diagnostics for the system. Using the boot
menu does not make any changes to the boot order stored in the BIOS.
The options are:
•
UEFI Boot:
○ Windows Boot Manager
•
•
Other Options:
○ BIOS Setup
○ BIOS Flash Update
○ Diagnostics
○ Change Boot Mode Settings

NOTE:
For most of the System Setup options, changes that you make are recorded but do not take effect until you
restart the system.
