Question: How Do I Press F8 on Windows 7?
Contents

How do you press F8 on keyboard?

However, unlocking an “F” key, such as F8, is not difficult.

  1. Press and hold the “Fn” key on your laptop’s keyboard. This key will usually be shaded blue and is located in the bottom row.
  2. Press the F8 key on your keyboard while still holding the “Fn” key. This will have unlocked the F8 key.

How do I start my computer in safe mode when F8 doesn’t work?

Pressing the F8 key at just the right time during startup can open a menu of advanced boot options. Restarting Windows 8 or 10 by holding the Shift key down while you click the “Restart” button also works. But sometimes, you need to restart your PC into Safe Mode several times in a row.
