F8 would be a start.

It depends on your setup, as shown in the articles.

In cases where the BIOS also intercepts F8, there
is a slight timing issue.

Just as, when a Windows installer CD says "Press any key to boot..."
or similar, you are allowed to only press once. If you hit the key
twice by accident, you end up in some submenu of the installer
media. Precision is everything, at startup time.

Just curious as to what BIOS uses F8. I've been messing with
computers since the 80's and I"ve never seen one that used F8
for anything.

The machine I'm typing this on, uses F8 for the popup boot menu.

It's an Asus motherboard. Del enters the BIOS. F8 is pop-up boot.

frank formulated the question :

It's normally F8, but if you want to eliminate the sometime "hit miss"
experience, I use this little small utility that works every.

OK, so let ask it a different way, for the third time. Which
BIOS does your Asus board use? For example, Award, Phoenix,
AMI, Insyde, SeaBIOS, other, don't know?

Thank you. It is odd tho. I have had many boards with AMI
including the one I am using now (ASRock) and none used F8.
Perhaps an Asus thing. I can't recall for sure but I don't
think any of the boards I have had were Asus.

It looks like you were in conversation with with a drug Junky. Few
months ago we had a drug junky called "Paul" so you were just unlucky to
have his post. I don't get any of his posts because he is number 01 on
my filter list including the octogenarians who are using smoke and
mirror to get news about world affairs and technology.

that drug junky had the tendency to make up things as he goes along and
all he did was to copy and paste from the web and claiming to be his
solutions. You will do yourself justice to filter him out assuming he
is the same junky I knew him few months ago.

Good luck.
