In the computer's startup process, it looks to firmware settings
before it reads in the Windows Operating system. If you can see
the screen, it will give you a key combination to press to edit
these options. You can't use a screen reader to do any of this
work because your screen reading software sees only what Windows
knows about, and at this point in the boot process, there is no
Windows Operating System.
