Should be the F8 key.

I think F5 while it's booting will take you right there instead of pressing
F8 and then having those options to go through. See what happenings when you
press F5 and tell me. I think that was a question on the exam in my PC
Troubleshooting class. Which key will take you directly to safe mode? I think
it was F5. Wait let me give it a shot on my Dell 8300, hold everything. BRB
No, F5 will give you all the options too. For ex. To start windows normally,
reboot, safe mode, safe mode with networkng, etc...
Ok, so we both learned something here, and great.
Thanks, attilathehun1
