Perhaps such a command or facility exists within Windows (mine is 7) that I don't know about and cannot find via searching, but I'd like to know from someone who understands these things better than I do why this is or is not practical.
Some Windows apps (eg, partition managers and backup/recovery and cloning) run in Windows but invoke batch processes to affect basic changes to systems. I'd like to understand why this is not done for BIOS setup changes.
I realize that apps run within operating system constraints relying heavily on RAM and ROM system facilities and the CPU. As I understand it, BIOS changes are a function of the boot loader which resides on some storage medium (disk, CD, SSD, etc) and is activated immediately after POST is performed. If other apps can and do start in Windows then proceed to batch and process basic OS functions and changes, why cannot the BIOS setup interface be invoked similarly? Of course, having once entered that mode, a reboot would be required just as it is for partition manager, et al, apps.
Anyone?
