You don’t need to hit any restart button to get into safe mode. What I always do is just turn off the computer and then turn it on again.
Follow my instructions below…
--- Boot Into Safe Mode with Networking ---
1. Turn your computer off. Wait a few seconds
2. Turn your computer on. Continuously tap the “F8” key on your keyboard until you get the, “Advance Boot Options” screen
3. Select the 2nd option “Safe Mode with Networking” by pressing the, Down Arrow on your keyboard and hit the “Enter” key on your keyboard
4. When the computer starts up in Safe Mode, everything on the screen will look large and out of the ordinary, that is normal while in safe mode
