Win 8 has a "quick boot" feature that basically bypasses the BIOS (or at least does not let you in) on power up. If you do a "restart" then you can access the BIOS normally.
There is a work around that will allow you to disable the "quick boot" function so that it boots just like Win 7 did and you can access the BIOS.

Thinking his older computer would not be starting that fast but maybe. Good suggestion though.
