Press the key for the boot menu or for BIOS directly and repeatedly during startup - the keys vary by device and are usually set to {{status title="Del"/}}, {{status title="F2"/}}, {{status title="ESC"/}}, {{status title="F9"/}}, {{status title="F11"/}} and {{status title="F12"/}}.

Patrick Theil 28.1 28 After the reboot you will be asked to enter a serial number and a device type - these queries have to be filled in - but what you enter doesn't matter, because the entries are only for easier identification if a TCMS is used.
