How to access system Bios on a Toshiba Satellite Pro C660. Are you struggling to gain access to your Toshiba laptop Bios ? Your laptop probably has fast boot enabled and is simply skipping the initial splash screen that advises how to access the Bio. Any sign off how to access the Bios when you push the start button are not shown when starting up.

Push start / power button whilst still holding F2. IMPORTANT - When the Toshiba logo is shown you must release the F2 key if the Toshiba logo disappears before you release F2 the machine will simple boot into the Operating system.  Now you have access to the BIOS. Once you have disabled fast boot when you restart your laptop the initial screen should look like this clearly showing options for accessing the Bios F2 (SETUP) or F12 for Boot Menu.
