US 10,871,969 B1 · Method for switching basic input/output system (BIOS) interface

Abstract

A method for switching basic input/output system (BIOS) interface, adapted to a basic input/output system (BIOS) having a complex module and a simplified module and executed by an electronic device, comprising entering a BIOS and displaying the simplified module on the BIOS interface, determining by the electronic device whether a hotkey is triggered, determining by the electronic device whether the hotkey is a first hotkey corresponding to the complex module when the hotkey is triggered, and hiding the simplified module and displaying the complex module on the BIOS interface when the hotkey is the first hotkey.
