Using Hotkey during POST at Boot Up

LiamCoakley

Hi,

We have a Dell Latitude E7270 that is failing to install Safeguard with a 'no init' message. Article https://www.sophos.com/en-us/support/knowledgebase/107781.aspx says to use Shift f6 during POST period of boot up. I have increased the POST delay to 10 seconds but cannot get the hotkey to be recognised. 

Any hints or tips would be greatly appreciated with this issue.

Thanks

Liam

    Hi Liam,

    I had a case with this machine recently - unfortunately the only method that works on this laptop is the BitLocker encryption method it seems. For that you need to be running Windows 7 Enterprise / Ultimate, Windows 8.1 Pro, Windows 10 Pro or similar.
