I'm trying to access my boot order in order to boot from a usb to install windows 10 onto an SSD drive, but whenever I try to access my bios (DEL key) or boot order (F11) Neither of them will access. I want to return them to defaults if I could do that to try and restart the process, but I can't get in anywhere! I have a backup BIOS on my motherboard as well, I just want to troubleshoot this one to see if there's anything I can do before I brick my mobo.
Specs:
MOBO: MSI Z-97 Gaming 7
CPU: i5-4690k
HDD: Seagate 7200RPM 1tb drive
SSD: Kingston v300 120gb (I got it cheap. don't judge ;))
What would be the best way to figure this out?
 
IF you have NO overclocking setup, or nothing special in the BIOS try resetting it. The button is the small button on the back of the PC between the Audo and USB 3.0 like so

That should reset it to defaults. You can then restore your backup BIOS as well. Also this PC has Dual BIOS, one for OC and one that is stock. The button on the inside at the bottom.
