Can't get into the bios Asrock mobo and Windows 10

[daddy_snuffles]

After powering up my PC, by the time I can press a key, and it actually register me having done so, It's passed the Asrock startup screen where it says to press F2 or dlt for the bios, and Windows 10 is loading up. This has been an issue ever since switching from Win 7 to Win 10 not too long ago, but I haven't really needed to get into the bios until now.

If you can't get into the BIOS by spamming the DEL key, there's an alternative from within the OS.

Hold "Shift" while navigating the "restart". Hold shift until the menu appears, which will allow you to select "UEFI" - then the system will reboot and enter the BIOS.

You may need to extend the 'splash screen' time to allow you enter the BIOS, but spamming from the point of power on should still allow you to reach the BIOS.

Hold the shift key down while pressing the shutdown tab.
Your subsequent reboot should allow you to enter bios with f2/del.

All I see is "Reset this PC", which lets you choose to keep or remove your personal files, and then reinstalls Windows, which is what I'm actually trying to do, but I was going to reinstall Windows using a USB because I'm not sure I can do it that way without the product key. Under "Advanced options" I don't see anything about UEFI or going into the BIOS, there's "System restore", "Go back to previous version", "System image recovery", "Startup repair", "Command prompt", "Startup settings". Maybe I can choose boot from USB in Startup settings?

Even if I can reinstall Windows another way, I would still need to get into the bios at some point in time.

None of those suggestions worked for me. There's a fast start but I currently have that off. How do I extend the "splash screen" time?

Nvm, I figured it out. By holding down the clear CMOS button I have on the back of my case, after resetting the bios, my PC restarted, and I was able to hit F2 and go into UEFI.
