Well now, if you got yourself a MinisForum mini PC, and you’re lookin’ to mess around with the BIOS, you gotta know a few things. These little machines, they ain’t like the big desktop computers, so you gotta follow certain steps to get into them settings. First off, let me tell ya, it ain’t too hard. You just need to know what keys to press and when to press ’em. I’ve got it all figured out for you, so don’t go worryin’ your head too much!
Now, most MinisForum mini PCs, you can get into that BIOS menu easy by just hittin’ Alt-F5 right when the computer starts up. You’ll see the BIOS pop up in front of you right quick. After that, you’ll probably want to hit “Save” to keep any changes, then “Exit” to leave that menu and let the PC reboot. Simple as that. Don’t forget, once it boots back up, you can go back into those settings if you want to do more tweaking!
If you’re dealing with a specific model like the GK41 desktop, you need to press F7 to get it started up, and then hit the “Del” key to get into the BIOS menu. It’s a bit different than the usual, but nothing too complicated once you get the hang of it. I know it can be tricky sometimes, but once you do it a couple of times, it gets easy, like second nature.
Some folks might be lookin’ to mess with the UEFI BIOS instead of the regular one. Don’t fret none, it’s the same general idea, just a different way to access it. In most cases, just hit the “Del” key right after booting up, and that should do it. If you wanna dive deeper into them advanced options, just follow the same method of pressin’ Alt-F5 and saving your settings when you’re done.
Speaking of advanced BIOS settings, I reckon if you want to get more detailed with your PC, you can go ahead and press Alt-F5 when the machine is startin’ up. This will unlock all them extra settings. After you mess around with ‘em, make sure you save everything and exit before restarting the PC. Don’t want nothin’ to get lost, now!
And if you’ve been lookin’ for the latest BIOS updates, well, I got news for you. The latest one came out in March 2023. If you don’t have that one yet, you’ll wanna get it downloaded. You can usually find that update on MinisForum’s official website. Don’t go rushin’ though, make sure you’re downloadin’ the right one for your specific model, or you might end up with more trouble than you bargained for!
All in all, gettin’ into the BIOS of a MinisForum mini PC ain’t no big deal once you know what you’re doin’. Just make sure you’re pressin’ the right keys at the right time, and don’t be afraid to mess around a bit. If you break somethin’, well, that’s what them reset buttons are for, ain’t it? Just make sure you save your settings, and you’ll be just fine.
