Re: Changing Boot Order

I am running wheezy, and would like to upgrade to jessie.  To
that end I've bought a CD and a USB stick from LinuxCollections.
My problem: when booting I can't get into my bios to change the
boot order.  No matter what key I press, the system continues
on with a re-boot of my old  wheezy.

Details:  my motherboard is a "Military Class Motherboard", which
I believe is also called MSI.  When the image flashed on the screen,
only for a few seconds, I see at the bottom instructions to press
either the F11 key, or the Delete key.  But when I press either of
these, nothing happens. 

​Try hitting the F11 key twice and then quickly move to the delete key and hit it twice as well.

That works for mine.....

So my question is: can I change the boot
order from withing wheezy, after I have booted and wheezy is already
in use?

[  Yes, I should have saved the material that came with my machine.
But I have recently moved, quite hurriedly, and I fear that the paper
manuals were lost.  ]

Thanks in advance for all help and suggestions!
