Finding BIOS?
When i turn on my computer before windows starts I see only two options F2 which bring me to setup and F12 which brings me to the boot menu. I tried pressing delete and Ctrl + F1 and nothing happened. Im pretty sure that setup and boot menu are not BIOS. So how do I get to BIOS?

If it says F2 Setup; that should bring you to the BIOS settings; just like it says. F12 should bring you to a series of options of which drive to boot from. In most cases, it should show you your C drive; but if you have a bootable CD in that drive, that option will also appear.
I am not sure why you would want to use Control + F1. That might have worked with a different computer; but this is not the same for each one. I've seen computers that use DEL, others that use INS, some that use INS + DEL and a whole series of computers that use F1 or F2 or F10.
So go for it, and hit that F2 key like it says.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

When it says PRESS F2 to enter setup.
They're actually referring to the BIOS.
Most people don't know what the BIOS are, so some companies smartly called in SETUP which is basically what you're looking for.
You know us IT people like to use big words for small things. lol.

The [Delete] or [F10] keys are more common. Sometimes you have to completely power off/power on the machine (like IBM laptops) to be able to access the BIOS.
