If you've got a working OS on there and you happen to know that command, then you can do that, yeah. I don't need to enter the BIOS nearly often enough, though, that hammering a button is a big deal...
If its a cold boot you need to spam the key.
and my jackpot is bigger than theirs when i finally do get into bios. lol
At this point if it changed it would be weird.
Doing this in my dad's computer where I don't know the key, and spamming like six different buttons.
