maybe it's possible to get into the BIOS during boot but I tried like 8 times and it didn't work. only way I could do it was by shift clicking restart in windows, then going through a multi-layer menu, then it restarted, and I was able to just press enter to get into a menu that would then let me choose to go into BIOS

also windows doesn't seem to want to ever actually shut down, it will *seem* to shut down but then boots as soon as I open the lid

hopefully this thing is just configured to be gay and it's not mandatory
