How to modify BIOS settings on Windows 11
In This Article
There are certain settings, which are typically reserved for modern advanced users, that require you to delve deeper into your Windows 11 PC or laptop to tweak. It’s called the BIOS, and this is how you get there.
Over recent years, Windows has begun to offer more and more advanced settings within its regular user-facing Settings page, such as easier access to graphical settings. However, some options still require you to access the BIOS. Such settings include boot device priority, power management, security, overclocking and plenty more.
