I want to schedule task in Win10. As far as I understand for Windows to perform a scheduled task a computer has to be turned on. So here is a question:

How to plan automatic power on of Acer laptop? It should be a standard option in BIOS settings but I was informed by Acer technical support that it is not there and I should contact Microsoft.

    To open Scheduled Tasks, click Start, click All Programs, point to Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click Scheduled Tasks. Use the Search option to search for “Schedule” and choose “Schedule Task” to open the Task Scheduler. Select the “Task Scheduler Library” to see a list of your Scheduled Tasks

    When creating or editing a scheduled task you are given the option to wake the computer if needed.
