In Laptops/Desktops shipped with Windows 8, the user cannot enter into the Advance Boot Options using the F8 key. But in certain Models the advanced boot options can be accessible using using "SHIFT+F8" on dell logo.

Hi iamvjkr,
Welcome to the community.
Windows 8 has been designed in a this way that if system doesn't boot up it goes to the Windows advanced option automatically.
However, if you wish to boot the system into safe mode then you can follow the steps below:
To access Safe Mode in Windows 8, you need to do so via the Advanced Startup options menu. To restart your computer into the Advanced startup options menu please go to the Windows 8 Start Screen and type Advanced. When the search results appear click on the Settings category as shown below.
Now click on the option labeled Advanced startup options and you will be brought to the General PC Settings screen. Scroll down to the bottom until you see an option labeled Advanced startup.
Click on the Restart now button and Windows 8 will restart your computer and go directly into the Advanced Startup options menu.
Now click on the Troubleshoot button and then the Advanced options button. You will now be at the Advanced options screen where you should click on the Startup settings option.
At the Startup Settings screen, click on the Restart button. Your computer will be restarted and brought into the Startup Settings menu as shown below.
You can start Safe Mode in Windows 8 from this screen.
If you have any further queries, please feel free to contact us.
Thanks and Regards
