I NTRODUCING BIOS S ETUP
Your computer comes with a hardware configuration program called BIOS Setup that allows you to view and set system parameters.
The BIOS (Basic Input/Ouput System) is a layer of software, called ‘firmware’, that translates instructions from  software (such as the operating system) into instructions that the computer hardware can understand. The BIOS settings also identify installed devices and establish special features.

•  customise your hardware settings according to your needs,
•  secure your computer with a password.
