Accessing the BIOS and Boot Menu

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 utility within your operating system.
