On my pc i can enter the bios utility by tapping the F2 key repeatedly at startup. It is not always F2, some computers it may be Del key, F1 key or F10 key

Not necessarily the case.

Depending on the BIOS & OS, one may be able to to select the Boot Device in real time via the proper Function key.

yes, same here. i appreciate all the above comments.
And yes, different bios's have different access keys.
The most common are F2 and Del. (The delete button)
