Most often, resetting the BIOS will reset the BIOS to the last saved configuration, or resets your BIOS to the BIOS version that shipped with the PC. Sometimes the latter can cause issues if settings were changed to take account for changes in hardware or OS after install.
What does BIOS reset do?
A bios reset will restore the bios to the factory-enabled settings. It will not erase “data” (as in: information on your disk), but it can change things that you might have altered in your bios settings. A BIOS reset will erase BIOS settings and return them to the factory defaults.
Will resetting BIOS affect Windows?
Clearing BIOS settings will remove any changes you’ve made, such as adjusting the boot order. But it won’t affect Windows, so don’t sweat that. Once you’re done, make sure to hit the Save and Exit command so your changes take effect.
