First, you will have to figure out how to get to the BIOS setup. Some motherboards requires you to hit F1, while others F2 or Del key. If you have the motherboard manual of the PC, just look it up there.

Reset your PC and hit the key repeatedly until the BIOS setup screen comes up. If you see the Windows screen loading up, that means that you have either hit the wrong key or you have missed the BIOS setup.

Because some BIOS feature do have the ability to supress the POST screen, you might not seen it; therefore I would advise to hit the BIOS setup key repeatedly until the BIOS setup screen comes up.

Normally if I missed it, I would hit the reset button and try again. But if you are worried about corruptiong the OS, you might want to wait for the PC to fully booted up and shut the PC down. Then start the PC and try again.
