Selecting HP Keys causes the computer boot using the preloaded HP-specific boot keys.
Default is HP Keys.
●
Fast Boot—Enable/Disable. Fast boot disables the ability to interrupt boot, such as pressing f
keys to access items before the operating system loads. Default is disabled.
NOTE: If Windows 8 detects a serious error, it will interrupt the boot process automatically
and display advanced boot options.
From Windows 8, you can press Shift and select Restart to access the screen that lets you
boot to a device or troubleshoot your computer.
