MSI has a utility you can get Here.  It has an option to reboot INTO bios.

So a time ago I tried to enter to my motherboard bios and it booted straight into windows, considering that my system boots extremely slow because I don't have a SSD, I've tried to disable quick boot in the control panel and I've tried to use the UEFI, but it doesn't appear al all when I try to use the advance start-up option in the settings on windows 10.

 

My system:

motherboard: MSI B250M GAMING PRO 

Processor: Intel core i5 7400

Graphics card: MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB

RAM: Crucial DDR4 2400mhz C16 8GB

HDD: WD blue 1TB

Have you tried spamming the DEL key on startup? DEL is the key to get into the BIOS for a MSI board.
