If you do not see the POST screen with the BIOS revision, and the message for how to enter setup, it is because of security features on your motherboard.

There are a few mother boards out there where you have to set a jumper to access the BIOS screen and settings.

There are also some very old PCs that required a special boot floppy to enter BIOS settings.

The bios revision shown, is the BIOS that is installed on the computer. To check for newer versions, you need to contact the company that made the computer or mother board.
