    I do not own an AIO PC like yours, but for most Acer PCs, it is keep tapping the F2 (or Fn +F2) key during black screen when bootup to reach the BIOS.

    This key may be different between motherboard manufacturers, some use Delete key while bootup.,

    I've been trying to get into my BIOS for about a week. My trick for finding my BIOS key was to video 1 second message that flashes on the bottom of the screen during the startup and playback frame by frame.

    Hi @JavierSN,

    Check with Esc key.

    On your system it's:
    To activate the BIOS Utility, press Del during POST (when Acer logo is prompted on the center of screen).
    Sometimes you will have better luck by holding the Del key while turning it on and keeping it pressed until it says it's entering the BIOS. Note that some Linux installs do a pretty good job of blocking access to the BIOS, setting it for a 0 second wait time to look for the key.

    This reminded me of the bad keyboard when I got my Acer desktop, the keyboard was defective.

    Try use another USB keyboard and see if it will make any difference.

    Anyway, hold down Fn key and keep tapping F2 key or just keep tapping the Delete key when bootup. Normally, there should be a message at the bottom part of the screen when bootup, telling you which key to press to reach BIOS, but this message is of very short duration. You have to pay attention to read it.
