    Hello everyone,

    I am trying to get into my boot order settings on Windows 8 and when I choose Advanced Restart from PC Settings the computer just restarts and goes right back into my start screen after a few seconds. Surely this is not the intended function? How does one access their "bios" type settings such as boot order and RAM timings? I have tried mashing every F key and DEL before starting windows to no avail. Thanks in advance.

    [Edit]

    Ok I know why it wouldn't go into the menu, i never changed my MBR disk to GPT so even though EFI was enabled it didnt install right. Mod can delete this thread. Thanks.
