Is this a good question?

Go to the support page on your motherboard manufacturer’s website, they'll probably have a page that tells you how to enter the BIOS on your motherboard. You should make sure your keyboard is plugged directly into your motherboard and try just plugging your installation media (I'm assuming it's a flashdrive with a Windows ISO flashed onto it) directly into your motherboard.

The main Keys to get to BIOS are going to be Esc, F1, F2, F9,F10 and F12 Sometimes Del. You may have to go to a Boot List and Pick Setup to go to BIOS. If you look the Board up it should tell you what Key it is. Another tick you can use at times is to remove all Boot drives and turn it on sometimes it will ask if you want to go to Setup.
