I am trying to access bios to turn on TPM 2.0 , but my pc boots too quickly. It goes straight to the Log In screen. I am running Windows 10 64 bit Legacy edition. Spamming F8 or Del doesn't do anything except stop it from starting at all. I have a Gigabyte motherboard and AMD processor if that helps

Accessing bios

Not really helpful as we need the model name or number of both the CPU and the MB so that we can check the specs.
F8 hasn`t done anything since the end of Windows 7 and the advent of UEFI BIOS and Windows 8.
do you have fast startup enabled?

Hi. I already had fast start up disabled. However, it really doesn't seem to be any slower on startup

In windows, start a command prompt ant type
shutdown /r /o
When the system restarts, on the new screen select Advanced and in the UEFI settings > restart
shutdown /r /o
When the system restarts, on the new screen select Advanced and in the UEFI settings > restart
As soon as you hit that power button, Immediately start hitting the DEL key until the bios shows. I have a Gigabyte board, and this is how I access it.

Disconnect the data cable from the Drive

Power on should take you into the BIOS
Turn on TMP 2.x
SAVE
Exit
With it powered off reattach the drive(s)

Have you also tried clearing the CMOS
Which REV if the motherboard do you have?

If you are unsure post a speccy report that will inform us the current hardware in the system.
So other can assist let get a speccy report.
Do not forget to post the make and model of the PSU if this is a desktop.
Download then run Speccy (free) and post the resultant url for us, details here, this will provide us with information about your computer hardware + any software that you have installed that may explain the present issue/s.
To publish a Speccy profile to the Web:
In Speccy, click File, and then click Publish Snapshot.

Speccy publishes the profile and displays a second Publish Snapshot. You can open the URL in your default browser, copy it to the clipboard, or close the dialog box.

Take it then that by removing the drives and clearing the CMOS did not get you there?

Hi. Sorry for the delay. Been working since last post. I've downloaded the manual via the link. ( English is fine btw).
I will have time Tuesday to try unplugging data cables etc. I really do appreciate the help. I'm happier with spanners than pc components.

Prior to taking anything apart refer to the manual for the proper instruction on access the BIOS.
