.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0;
I wanted to try Gnu/Linux pop os, so I tried to enter the BIOS by pressing f2 (my laptop is a dell inspiron 15 7559, but I still tried every common key). For some reason I couldn't enter the post screen, so no matter when I pressed f2, it would always boot into windows.
So I went to recovery settings and entered the advanced start up mode, and with that I was finally able to enter the BIOS. I changed the boot drive to my USB drive with pop os on it, and also changed from UEFI to Legacy mode (something that I think I shouldn't have done).
Moving forward to the installation, after making a partition on my second ssd, for some reason it said "could not install, hardware error" so I erased everything I had on that SSD (the one I'm running linux now).
I installed boot repair on pop os and after running it, it said "The current session is in Legacy mode. Please reboot the computer, and use this software in an EFI session. This will enable this feature." Tried running it from my USB drive, same result.
I want to have access to windows again and be able to dual boot linux, but my situation now is:
- Can't access the BIOS. I see no post message, I tried every common key from start to finish and still nothing
- Tried making a new NTFS partition on my SSD to boot windows , but it says "target is busy" whenever I try to umount the partition
So my question is, what can I do to regain access to the BIOS and what should I change there to dual boot windows and linux?
I don't know what to do from this point.

Indeed, to go to the BIOS, I had to go to Advanced startup and in troubleshoot, click on "UEFI Firmware Settings" (recoverit.wondershare.com/images/article/02/7-3.jpg) Now I just need to get access to the BIOS, because I can't seem to find a way.

Can you still enter GRUB? If you press e on a boot entry, then remove all the code and type in fwsetup and press CTRL+X or F10 (it will say how to boot in the the bottom of the screen) it should reboot to the firmware setup. I have this entry in my boot loader and it always works.
To unmount the partition, if you haven't already, make sure that you aren't currently in the directory you are unmounting. (for example, say you want to umount the partition in /mnt. But you are already in /mnt. You will need to cd into a different directory (just simply typing in cd should do the trick.) It should then not complain that the target is busy
