Hello,
What laptop do you have? This can help determine what key you have to press in order to gain access to the BIOS settings.
You can still access the BIOS settings. You just need to press the correct key before the system boots into Windows.
The common keys to access the BIOS are:
F1
F2
Delete
Esc
F10
If you don't know what key you need to press, try powering up your laptop and tapping one of the keys each time.
Depending on what BIOS you have, you may be able to freeze the POST sequence by hitting the Pause button on the keyboard or by hitting the Esc key.
