When I had Windows 7, I could view the Advanced Boot Options merely by pressing the F8 key repeatedly. But in Windows 10, that doesn't work.
Currently I'm having no problems with Windows 10, but it's always better to know these things in case of an emergency.

It turns out that the Advanced Boot Options were removed in Windows 10 for faster startup purposes.
