Bought pc parts and built my pc .
Switched it on and it's all good so far...
Windows states my 7800x3d is running at 4.3Ghz .
I'm rebooting the pc and pressing F2. DELETE and F10 but it just boots into windows.

I've also tried holding shift .

My keyboard is a razer huntsman mini 60% .

Any ideas or help is appreciate

create a shortcut on desktop pointing to
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /r /fw /t 0

/r is restart
/fw is go to bios
/t 0 is for 0 second delay

your bios is probably in some quick boot setting that doesn't initialise all USB devices at boot

without looking at the manual this is a guess but try holding down the function key (Fn) and the F key number that you need.

My 65% keyboard has no F key row and it’s pretty easy to get into the BIOS using the Fn key and the number key on the top row.

I still need to figure out the advanced features of my Nuphy Halo 65 but even just as a basic work keyboard, it’s fantastic.

Also, disable the BOOT logo in the BIOS - it’ll make it easier to see when your Pc is finish posting and you can press F10 (or whatever) to get into the BIOS.

Another way to do it is, hold shift down and click on restart, you'll boot into the recovery screen and should have a option to go into UEFI. It'll reboot and go into bios.
 
I always keep a really cheap full size keyboard to hand as you never know when they come in handy and you can buy one for barely anything.

I was today years old when I found out there was an /fw parameter for shutdown

Quite handy that!
