Where are the bios settings for a PC ?Disk stored...are they on the HD (SSD) or are they on/in the windows installation itself.

If I reinstall via windows backup and/or Acronis tib files...are the bios setting contained in these backup files...or are they separate on the main program hard drive itself ?

Can you revert/replace original bios settings after a repair install ?....or are they included in the Windows/Acronis system backup files ?

Thanks....TiminAz

BIOS settings are stored on the motherboard in a CMOS chip powered by a small battery. They are independent of the operating system.

BIOS settings are stored in the CMOS which is part of the computers hardware. They are not stored on the hard drive. You can do a repair install, a clean install, wipe the hard drive or even remove it, none of this will effect the BIOS settings in any way.
