Basically around the 2000s we had a WinXP computer and each time I wanted to use it, either my mom or my dad had to turn it on. However they had to strike the key to enter the BIOS. Everytime when booting the PC. Then they would exit the BIOS and so Windows XP would boot normally.

Do you guys know if your parents also did that and why?

      Still? I have no idea. Although I was working on it yesterday, the computer itself is an HP 800 G1 from like, 2014, I believe (uses a 4th gen i5).

      And in 2014 (I think it’s safe to say) they still used jumpers.
