The BIOS (Basic Input-Output System) is the firmware code that typically lives on flash memory on your motherboard. Think of it as the reptilian hind-brain of the system. It is the minimum software that a system needs to become able to start to load an operating system.
Boot menu is always related to computer booting process. The booting process is as follows: POST first detects the peripherals and devices to make sure the hardware is ready; next, the computer accesses the BIOS firmware and then assigns to boot from the boot device with the first priority; finally, read the assigned boot device to enter the operating system.
Sometimes, you need to open boot menu and change the boot order for the following two reasons:
- The computer doesn't boot into operating system. You need to check the boot
- You need to change the boot device, for example, you want to boot MSI from USB.
