Cannot Get To BIOS Setup
Dell Precision T8510
I cannot enter the BIOS setup of my system.
1. Powered up the PC, waited and pressed the F2 key as soon as the first light showed on the keyboard. PC will not boot up. The power is heard running almost forever.
2. Powered up the PC, waited and pressed the F12 (for boot sequence) key as soon as the first light showed on the keyboard. PC will not boot up. The power is heard running almost forever.
3. I installed a new PCIe drive I cannot see in Computer Management, so I need to check the BIOS, ubt I can't.
Thanks.

Entirely up to you, here's my tips: Accepts as solution just the posts that worked for you. Kudos any posts you like or were worthwhile. If a post is both, that's fine too.
I'm glad you got your T5810 going again. It was also your determination that did it.

Does your original drive still boot and operate as normal? If so Cloning is still possible.
You might want to try the Create an Image and then remove the old drive install the new drive in RAW condition.
Then boot up F12 Select your UEFI USB
That should boot to MR from where you will restore the created Image of your original drive. This way your not doing any further damage to your original drive.
as to the technology of Drives, this is a reply to the request of what is the difference between M1 and M2 SSD
That M.2 does exist while M1 does not. The older SSD format is 2.5″ SATA, followed by M.2 SATA and M.2 NVMe.
I'm not knocking you for not understanding only for us to help you we need the actual facts of what you working with.
As far as cloning or Image creation and restore it's a mute difference. It doesn't matter you can go from any of the three as long as you staying with the same format RAID or AHCI.
Hard Drive to SSD SATA or NVME again SATA does not support UEFI So you cant go from SATA to NVME

""Hard Drive to SSD SATA or NVME again SATA does not support UEFI So you cant go from SATA to NVME"
So I might be missing something and I'm trying to understand, but my SATA SSD is in a 2014 PC with UEFI BIOS.
