Basically around the 2000s we had a WinXP computer and each time I wanted to use it, either my mom or my dad had to turn it on. However they had to strike the key to enter the BIOS. Everytime when booting the PC. Then they would exit the BIOS and so Windows XP would boot normally.
Do you guys know if your parents also did that and why?
Maybe they didn’t setup the boot disk properly? Another explanation could be that some pre-xp pc’s required you to type “win” in the CLI for Windows to start it’s GUI.
Unrelated, but I remember that my dad had to open up the PC and install a new video card once so that I could use Paint.
I think it was Win 3.1 where you last had to type “win” to start Windows.
Win 3.11.
