I did watch it; but did not see any BIOS, only Windows setup. I only asked about laptops because I support family members using TeamViewer but I can't access their bioses.

At 18 seconds was the BIOS splash screen. At 26 seconds was the boot override menu. To get into the BIOS it would be pressing F12 to get into BIOS settings instead of F8.

The device only works on the local LAN. To help someone remotely over the internet you would need to VPN into their LAN. I have played with it much on my Dell or MSI laptops, but my Dell laptop does output the BIOS screen on HDMI when the lid is closed.

Thanks, but it never showed the BIOS settings, did it? :-)
