How do I boot into EFI?
To boot to UEFI or BIOS:
- Boot the PC, and press the manufacturer’s key to open the menus. Common keys used: Esc, Delete, F1, F2, F10, F11, or F12.
- Or, if Windows is already installed, from either the Sign on screen or the Start menu, select Power ( ) > hold Shift while selecting Restart.
You can disable both the ability to hide tags and to recover them by uncommenting the showtools item in refind.conf and ensuring that hidden_tags is not among the options. (Even if you disable this feature, rEFInd continues to honor tags it finds in NVRAM or on disk.) Note: ESPs use the FAT filesystem, which is case-insensitive.
How do I boot from the rEFInd boot manager?
