Has anyone in here successfully get into this device's BIOS settings?  If so, how did you get into it?  I have pretty much tried all the top row including function keys with no success.

    To enter BIOS Setup, it is usually the "Delete" key when booting up. Keep hitting the key 3 times every second from power up to the point you see "Entering Setup".
    If there is no response, you probably have a bad keyboard. This happened to my desktop computer, but my problem was the F12 key for entering the "Boot Menu", not the Delete key for entering BIOS Setup.

    Thanks for trying to help.  It displays some messages but still can't get in.  I need someone who had successfully gotten into the BIOS of the CloudProfessor to provide me the answer specifically.

    Please share the exact model number of your device ex: AN515-XX-XX. This would allow us to provide you better assistance.

    I just signed up to answer this… late to the party I know, but just spent the last little while mashing my keyboard trying to figure it out and couldn’t find the answer anywhere else on the internet. 

    Its “F2”

    model: CPF GU1-500

    once in there you can turn on “F12 boot menu” to select the boot drive on start-up or simply change the boot order within the BIOS.

    @whitepanda and @Fixed_term

    Don't know this thread is still alive.

    If the keyboard has Fn key, Fn+F2 will get into the BIOS. I suppose @Whitepanda finally saw the message at lower left hand corner and had it figured out.

    Hello......

    BIOS is software program or firmware that provides the computer with the instructions that it needs to initialize your computer when it is first powered on.
