aspire 3 spin 14 enter BIOS, need to change the keyboard configuration to set F2 key

MindlessDoc54

I need to change the keyboard configuration to set F2 key to work as F2 without having to press Fn key combination.

I believe F2 should be used to enter BIOS in this laptop. Tried using F2 alone and combined with Fn key. Any suggestions?

Enter bios through Windows OS as its allot simpler to do that. The F2 Key does not work on the majority of the new laptops.

Assuming F2 does allow you to enter the BIOS on your laptop (check the manual), do this:

Immediately after pressing the on/off key, repeatedly & quickly tap the F2 key until the BIOS screen shows. You may have to have a couple of tries to accomplish this.

Note that some Unix distros effectively disable the ability to do this so that can be a problem if you have a dual OS installation.
