CONFIGURATION OF A BASIC INPUT/OUTPUT SYSTEM (BIOS) OF A COMPUTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A method for configuring a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of a computing device, the method comprising:
- presenting, by the computing device, a first request relating to a first functionality of the computing device controlled by one or more settings of the BIOS;
receiving a first user response corresponding to the first request;
presenting a second request relating to a second functionality of the computing device controlled by one or more settings of the BIOS, wherein the second request is selected based on the first user response;
receiving a second user response corresponding to the second request; and
configuring at least one setting of the BIOS based on the first and second user responses.

Abstract
Example embodiments disclosed herein relate to configuring a Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) of a computing device. An embodiment of a method may present, by the computing device, a first request relating to a first functionality of the computing device controlled by one or more settings of the BIOS, and may receive a first user response corresponding to the first request. The method may also present a second request relating to a second functionality of the computing device controlled by one or more settings of the BIOS, with the second request being selected based on the first user response. The method may then receive a second user response corresponding to the second request. In addition, the method may configure at least one setting of the BIOS based on the first and second user responses. Embodiments of a related computing device and computer-readable storage medium are also disclosed.
