Trying to update BIOS in my Dell Dimension 9200 - F2 not doing the trick

Trying to update my BIOS because I just upgraded my video card. (Had to!  Windows 10 won't load  because the original card is too old.)  The directions suggest I check the BIOS to insure that my "Primary Display Adapter is set to PCI."  I haven't accessed the BIOS in ages.  I press F2 on startup, but nothing happens.  I have tried this several times.  Tapping, keeping it pressed, etc.  Could this not be working because I have a wireless keyboard and it hasn't "connected" yet upon startup?  That's my theory anyway.  And is this necessary at all?  (Yeah, I tossed the old USB keyboard a long time ago.)

Any advice would be appreciated.  Thnx.

Hi, 

The wireless keyboards are not really userfriendly to log into bios or any other menu apart from windows. 

Would advise to try a USB keyboard.

Hi

How is it going on with the system? Have you tried a USB keyboard?
