The PC make & model was listed in the opening post.

What I did was remove everything possible connected to the desktop.

And then, magically, the F10 worked just fine when POST said to tap it.

The strangest thing is this Hyper-crap, which I never understood.
1. Apparently, I have to turn it "ON" in the BIOS
2. But I have to turn it "OFF" in Windows (Turn Windows features on or off)

That makes no sense (to me) and, worse, is quite unintuitive (to me).
o But that's the only way I could get Android emulation to work.

In summary, two things had befuddled me to no end (they made no sense):
A. I couldn't get to the BIOS with "stuff" plugged into the ports, and, 
B. You have to turn Hyper-crap ON in BIOS and OFF in Windows,
C. Just so that Android emulation will work (on an AMD CPU).
