How to enter bios on AO725-0826

Hi there. I have tried searching and no luck. This netbook came with Windows 8 yet the UEFI button (in advanced options) is not present.

What is the secret to getting into the BIOS on this thing? No prompt appears during boot up. ESC, F2, F11 and F12 do nothing.

Quite frustrated, this is the first computer that makes me feel stupid (windows 8 isn't helping either).

Also note that in msinfo32 it shows I have UEFI bios (Insyde Corp. V2.04, 2012-09-06) but the tile in advanced options IS NOT present.

What the heck is going on?

EDIT: Ok, so I updated to the latest bios (I ran out of options) and now F2 works!

For anyone with this problem and model, update to V2.12 of the Insyde corp bios!!!!
