Need to know why the F8 key in Windows 8 doesn't work. This is Microsoft's way of hiding the command key that's been seen by user's for years. It is not recommended to show the F8 key. But if your one of those user's like myself who want full control of their computer. Here is how to do it.
Go to the command prompt (admin) and type the following
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy
To then return the boot command back to normal you then enter this in the DOS prompt
bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy standard
