How to access BIOS on a HP Pavilion laptop

How can I access the BIOS on a HP pavilion laptop? I tried pressing function keys F2 and F10 and F12 at the startup but nothing happens and it goes straight to my Windows login screen. What i am trying to do is to enable Virtualization Technology option. Is there any other way to do this other than accessing the BIOS?

Press the power button and immediately press the ESC key when the system starts up. You will then see a startup menu with the following options: 

F1 System Information

F2 System Diagnostics

F9 Boot Device Options

F10 BIOS Setup

F11 System Recovery

ENTER - Continue Startup

Press F10 to enter the BIOS Setup. Virtualization Technology option is under System Configuration Tab.


Press F10 to Save and Exit.
