Extension of Splitting Fields over An Arbitrary Field

Let $F$ be a field in which $0 neq2$ in $F$, and consider $f=x^4+1$. If $E$ is the splitting field for $f$ over $F$, it turns out that $E$ is a simple extension of $F$. How does one realize this fact? I'm not so sure as to what field element I can adjoin to $F$ to allow $f$ to split into linear factors. Finding the splitting field over something like $mathbbQ$ is straight forward and easy in comparison, but I'm having trouble working with any general field $F$.



Also, if we indeed did have that $0=2$ in our field $F$, then $f=x^4+1=(x+1)^4$, so $F$ is its own splitting field, is this correct reasoning?

    Letting $alpha$ be any root, then $f$ splits as $(x-alpha)(x+alpha)(x-alpha^3)(x+alpha^3)$ in $F[alpha]$.

If $theta$ is a root of $x^4+1$, then so are $theta^k$ for $k=1,3,5,7$, and so $x^4+1$ splits in $F(theta)$.
