Solved How do I set laptop to auto boot without the BIOS option

[JoeBella]

Hi – I want to have my Acer laptop (running Win7 Home Premium) boot automatically at a specific time of day but there is no option in the BIOS to allow auto start or timed wake up or any such. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Forums JoeBela

We have people here with problems with their pc coming on by itself, so there is a way.

I know you can set allow wake timers to "enable" in power options/sleep. How you set the time, I have no idea. I will research and maybe someone else will be along with instructions.
