My HP desktop won't show advance boot options when I hit F8

It shows my processor information and so on when pressed Esc to enter startup menu. I'm so frustrated I cant go into safe mode.

I tried to hit F5 and it shows the same screen as described above. I've tried to find information on other forums.

On the startup menu it displays the BIOS and Hewlett Packard utilities and other settings

If you want the legacy Advanced Options menu like W7, and you have Windows 8 or 10, you can revert the bootloader to legacy mode so F8 works like it did with Windows 7.

Open an elevated (Administrator) Command Prompt and type the following command:

bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy

Spaces in this command are important, restart and try F8 now, you should get the legacy Advanced Boot Options screen now.

.

To revert these changes if needed:

bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard
