Alright, let’s talk about this here “surface rt bios” thing. I ain’t no fancy tech person, but I’ll tell ya what I know, the way I know how to say it. Don’t expect no big words or nothin’.
So, you got this Surface RT thingy, right? Looks like a fancy tablet, but it’s kinda like a computer too. Now, sometimes, this thing gets all messed up. Won’t start right, or does somethin’ weird. That’s when folks start talkin’ about this “bios” thing.
What’s this BIOS Anyway?
Best as I can figure, the bios is like the brain of your Surface RT, but way down deep inside. It’s the first thing that wakes up when you turn it on, before all that fancy Windows stuff starts. It tells the Surface RT what to do, like where to find the stuff to start up and all that.
Now, most of the time, you don’t need to mess with the bios. It just does its thing, and you go on your merry way. But sometimes, things go wrong, and you might need to take a peek inside.
Getting into that BIOS Thingamajig
Here’s the tricky part. It ain’t as easy as just clickin’ a button. You gotta be quick and know what you’re doin’. From what I hear, you gotta turn the darn thing off first. Hold that power button down, real good and long, like maybe for 30 seconds or so, just to make sure it’s really off. Some folks say you gotta plug it in too, so maybe do that just in case.
Now, this is where it gets fuzzy. Seems like there ain’t no one way to do it. Some folks say you gotta have a special USB stick, somethin’ they call a “recovery drive”. You stick that in, and then when you turn it on, maybe it’ll go into that bios thing. Sounds complicated, if you ask me.
- Turn off your Surface RT. Hold that power button down good.
- Plug it in, just in case.
- Maybe get one of them USB recovery stick thingies, and stick it in.
- Then, turn it on and see what happens. Maybe you gotta press a button real quick, like one of them F keys or maybe the Delete key. It’s all a bit of a guessin’ game, to be honest.
What to do When You’re In
Okay, so let’s say you actually get into this bios thing. What then? Well, it ain’t pretty, I’ll tell ya that. Lots of words and numbers, most of which don’t make a lick of sense to me. But from what I gather, you can do things like change the order the Surface RT starts up in, or maybe even fix some problems if it ain’t startin’ right.
When Things Go Really Wrong
Now, here’s the thing. Messin’ with the bios can be dangerous. If you change somethin’ you ain’t supposed to, you could really mess up your Surface RT. So, unless you know what you’re doin’, it’s probably best to leave it alone. If your Surface RT is really messed up, maybe it’s best to take it to someone who knows what they’re doin’. Them computer folks at the store, they might be able to help you out.
Updating and Recovering
Sometimes, the problem ain’t the bios, but somethin’ else. Maybe your Windows thing is messed up. There’s a way to fix that too, from what I hear. You gotta swipe in from the side, like you’re wavin’ at someone. Then you find some “settings” and click around ’til you find somethin’ about “update and recovery.” Then you can tell it to just wipe everything out and start over. That’s like cleanin’ out the whole house, startin’ fresh.
So, in short…
Look, this bios thing is complicated. It’s important, but it’s also kinda hidden away and tricky to mess with. If you don’t need to mess with it, don’t. And if you do, be careful, or you might end up with a real mess on your hands. Maybe try that “update and recovery” thing first, if you can. That seems a whole lot easier, and less likely to cause trouble.
Anyways… That’s about all I know about this here “surface rt bios” thing. Hope it helps ya out somehow. Just remember, be careful, and don’t go breakin’ nothin’!
And another thing… If you don’t know what you’re doin’, best to leave it to the youngsters. They seem to know all about this computer stuff.
