• directly from BIOS;

In the list of devices, depending on the configuration of the PC, there is equipment from which it is possible to boot: hard drive, CD/DVD drive connected USB devices etc. The user, using the arrow keys on the keyboard, selects required device, moves it to the first place in the list, and then saves the changes in the BIOS settings.

After applying the changes, the computer will start booting from the very first device installed in BIOS Boot Menu. If the first device does not have a boot disk, the boot will start from next device etc. For example, the PC has been set to boot priority from a CD/DVD disk, and the hard disk is located as a second boot device, if there is no bootable CD/DVD disk in the drive, the computer will boot from the hard disk. Accordingly, if a disc with Windows is inserted into the drive, the PC will boot from the DVD disc.

Selecting boot priority in BIOS - permanent setting, which can be changed if such a need is needed again.

Boot Menu (also Change Boot Device, Popup Menu)- a very useful menu that allows you to select the device from which the device will boot.

That is, for example, you need to install Windows OS - press the button to enter the Boot Menu, select installation flash drive, and after rebooting, the computer will automatically boot from the hard drive (and no unnecessary settings BIOS).

Example Boot Menu - HP laptop (Boot Option Menu).

D2D Recovery (also Recovery)- Windows recovery function on laptops. Allows you to quickly restore the functionality of the device from hidden section hard drive. To be honest, I personally don’t like using this function, because... recovery in laptops is often “crooked”, works clumsily and there is not always a choice detailed settings“how and what”... I prefer installation and Windows recovery from a bootable flash drive.

Easy Flash - used for BIOS updates(I don’t recommend using it for beginners...).

System Information - system information about the laptop and its components (for example, this option available on HP laptops).
