How do I reset my BIOS without resetting it?

First, when you remove the button battery with no power cord attached, also look on the mobo for a set of 3 pins that say “BIOS Reset”. Move the jumper on two pins to the other two pins for about 10 sec, then move it back to its “normal” position. THEN replace the button battery and restore power.

Does resetting your PC reset the BIOS?

Resetting windows will not affect the BIOS. I did this all the time when reinstalling Windows, and the BIOS is completely unaffected. Just make sure your boot order is set to the drive with windows installed. Be sure to backup your data before resetting though!
