Your Star Labs laptop will use one of two types of firmware: **AMI** or **coreboot**.

The steps to access system settings or the boot menu vary slightly depending on which one your device uses.

### 🧭 **For AMI Firmware**

- Press **`F2`** to open **BIOS Settings**
This is where you can configure hardware options, boot order, and other system settings.

- Press **`F7`** to open the **Boot Menu**
This menu lets you choose a temporary boot device (for example, a USB drive).

### ⚙️ **For coreboot Firmware**

When using **coreboot**, the correct key to press will be shown briefly on screen during startup.
Unlike AMI, **coreboot** does not have a full BIOS interface (in older versions)— only a **boot menu**.

> 💡 **Tip:**
> If you’re looking to change firmware settings such as boot order or performance options, you can do this using the [**coreboot-configurator**](https://github.com/StarLabsLtd/coreboot-configurator) utility within your operating system.
