How to Change the Boot Order in Your Computer's BIOS [For Beginners]

By default, your PC boots from its internal hard drive or solid-state drive, but that’s not always ideal. Several instances, such as troubleshooting your Windows installation, setting up a different operating system, and checking RAM for errors, may require you to boot from external media such as a DVD or USB flash drive.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to change the boot order in the BIOS or UEFI on your Microsoft Windows 10/11 PC. But before you do that, you may want to consider using the One-time boot menu.

The best way to change the boot order in Windows is to use your PC’s One-Time Boot menu for one-time instances. That means pressing a specific key, such as Esc or F12, directly during the boot sequence.
