Instruction:

Turn off your computer. Then turn on your computer, and quickly press a special key (computer manufacturer and model specific) to stop at the BIOS user interface.

For Windows 10 computers, press the F12 key. For earlier Windows computers it could be the F8 key.

For Mac computers, press and hold CMD, OPT, "O" and "F" (OF stands for 'open firmware'). The CMD key has an apple on it and the OPT key is in the same position as the ALT key on a PC keyboard. Enter commands when the prompt "0 >" loads on the screen.

Many newer machines use the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) which has replaced the BIOS interface. It still performs essentially the same functions.
