New Build Startup Question

Go to solution Solved by PopsicleHustler,

You can just hold power button until PC shuts down and power it on again, it won't damage it. I think DEL keep is default bios key for any PC nowadays, I could be wrong though.

 

EDIT: Delete key is normally located above arrow keys.

I just booted up my new PC, and was trying to get into my BIOS (pressing Delete key) but I was instead taken to the Windows Setup menu. How would I exit out of the Setup to get back to the BIOS? Can I just turn the computer off and on again or will that hurt something? 

 

Also is the correct delete key the one on the numpad?

Thanks, I'll give it a try!

EDIT: My keyboard has 3 delete keys, but I pressed the right one this time lol

Read the motherboards manual, the key might be different.

Del is the most common but even some modern boards use F1/F2 or F11/F12

Figured it out, it was the delete key, must not have pressed it on time. Thanks for your help!
