Yes, there is another way. If fast-boot is turned on (for what reasons, I have no idea, especially if using an SSD or NVME SSD, you may have trouble entering the bios.
Looking at temps in the bios is not good practice as Speed-Step does not work at the bios level. Processors at bios level will run full speed (not turbo) so you will not have a base idea of temps with no-load until the operating system and drivers are loaded. F2 key or delete must be held down or multi-punched upon start-up and not with a wireless keyboard. You can also enter the bios from a Windows Flash driver installer by using Troubleshooting rather than installing. There are two locations for Fast-boot to be toggled off, The Bios, and Power Options, in Settings under the Control Panel in Windows. In my opinion with current drive technology Fast Boot is not needed, unless for some reason you are using a Stone Age Platter Drive for booting.
Under Windows you can use this method to get to Troubleshooting, Hold the shift key down at the lock screen then restart with it held this should take you to the Advanced Startup Screen and you enter the bios as one of the options.
