HELP!! cant enter uefi/bios but laptop boots windows

Hi all.
I used MACRIUM REFLECT (free edition) to duplicate my two 128gb mSATA SSD RAID 0 drives to a single 512mb mSATA SSD drive mounted in the spare mSATA SSD slot, once completed I removed the original RAID 0 drives and replaced them with a pair of mSATA 512gb SSD drives. I formatted them as RAID 0 then recovered the cloned image onto the new 1TB RAID 0 pair. I test ran the install and it was all working correctly but only showing as a 256gb RAID 0 drive. I resized the RAID 0 drives to become a 1tb C drive and then partitioned the 1tb drive to become two roughly 512gb drives, my C (system drive) and a drive I labelled drive J. All is running as it should, no problems with the OS or any other reported issues.

I have since found that I am no longer able to enter BIOS. Starting up Windows 10 both F11 and DELETE keys end up a black screen with non blinking cursor.

I read another thread (http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/cant-enter-uefi-bios-but-laptop-boots-windows.812807) which seems to give some help but I'm not going to claim I am fully comfortable and I'm a bit hesitant to jump into it and mess things up. The outcome of that thread is this:

Hello Everyone,

I would like to thank you for every little help and idea provided.
The case was solved with help of the MSIHQ author, a bios reflash to the most updated version has worked and brought took me into bios.
If anyone finds this and needs a solution, I could not boot using the USB created with MSIHQ although I was able to boot to the win 10 install created for USB.
The solution was to flash the bios from windows.

Thanks again everyone and kudos to this great community and for MSI for creating awesome laptops!

I'm understanding some of the steps JulesWinnfield has mentioned but would like a bit more detail to ensure I don't brick my PC.

Running Msinfo32 gives this system info...
