A friend brought over his pc & he pulled his cmos battery out. Then he asked me to look at it. I only have usb keyboards . I tried different keyboards but when I fired it up the screen displayed " keyboard not detected press f1 to continue & f2 for setup utilty." I like challenges & I have rebuilt computers but this is another challenge. There is no port on this pc for the older keyboards (ps2 keyboards I think their called). My friend had run a wireless keyboard before he pulled the battery. Now I need suggestions on how I should get his pc up & running. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

Since I got into the bios, now I can go into windows 10 & do all my stuff in there. Is it normal to boot from the msata port with the ssd card, because that is what this pc does. It will run without the hdd, it is uninstalled because it has failed & I ordered a new one. When it arrives do i need to install windows 10 or is it just for storage now. Should I plug sata0 into the hdd or sata1. Any suggestions for this. Thank you, much apprieciated.
