Describe the boot process in detail

Change boot priority

When you power up your Windows 10/8/7 system, the BIOS message appears on the screen, the memory count begins, and then some message similar to the one below appears on the screen:

F9- Boot Menu F10- Setup F12- Network Service Boot

Power up your Windows system, and press the appropriate key to go in the system setup.

If the system starts the boot process, it means that you were too slow to respond.
Restart the system and try again until you enter the setup program.

If it displays a language menu, select English and hit the key to continue.

An example of a setup utility displays, the following drop-down menus: File, Storage, Security, Power and Advanced. You should get something similar. State the menus the setup utility displays on your system, and then select each one of the menus, and note below the options that are available for each menu.

Select the menu that gives you the option of Boot Order. The Boot Order tells you the order the system will check to find a bootable device. For example, a system that we use in our labs had the following boot order:

USB device

ATAPI CD-ROM Drive

Hard Drive

Integrated SATA

Integrated IDE

Broadcom Ethernet controller

This menu tells you that the system will first search for a bootable USB device. If it finds a bootable USB, it will try to boot on it. Else, it will try to find a bootable CD disk and boot on it. If no bootable CD disk is found, it will continue with the next option, the Hard Disk.

State below what is the boot order the setup utility displays in your system.
