How to go to BIOS on Lenovo laptop
Lenovo. one of the most popular firms manufacturers of laptops. By the way, I must tell you (from personal experience), laptops are quite good and reliable. And there is one feature of some models of these laptops. an unusual input to the BIOS (and it is very often necessary to go to it, for example, to reinstall Windows).
In this relatively small article, I would like to consider these input features.
Entrance to the BIOS on Lenovo laptop (step-by-step instruction)
1) Usually, to enter the BIOS on Lenovo laptops (on most models), it is enough when it is turned on to press the F2 button (or FNF2).
However, some models can not even react to these press (for example, Lenovo Z50, Lenovo G50, and in general, model range: G505, V580C, B50, B560, B590, G50, G500, G505S, G570, G570E, G580, G700. Z500, Z580 may not respond to these keys).
2) At the above models on the side panel (usually next to the power cable) there is a special button (for example, Lenovo G50 cm model. rice. 2).
To go to the BIOS you need: Turn off the laptop, and then click on this button (the arrow is usually drawn on it, although I admit that on some models the arrows may not be).
By the way, an important point. Not all Lenovo laptop models This service button is on the side. For example, on the Lenovo G480 laptop. this button next to the laptop’s power button (see. rice. 2.one).
3) If everything is done correctly, the laptop should turn on and the service menu with four items appears on the screen (cm. rice. 3):
To enter the BIOS. select BIOS Setup (Installation and Settings BIOS).
4) Next, the most common BIOS menu should appear. You can further configure the BIOS similarly to other laptop models (practically identical settings).
By the way, maybe someone will need: in rice. 4 shows the Lenovo G480 Boot Laptop section settings to install Windows 7 OS:
- Boot Mode: [Legacy Support]
- Boot Priority: [LEGACY FIRST]
- USB Boot: [Enabled]
- Boot Device Priority: PLDS DVD RW (This is a drive with the Windows 7 boot disk installed on it, please note that it is the first on this list), Internal HDD.
After changing all the settings, do not forget to save them. To do this, in Exit section, select “Save and Exit” (Save and Exit). After restarting the laptop. installation of Windows 7 should start.
5) There are certain models of laptops, such as Lenovo B590 and V580C, where the F12 button may be needed to enter the BIOS. Holding this key immediately after turning on the laptop. you can get to Quick Boot. where it is easy to change the order of downloading various devices (HDD, CD-ROM, USB).
6) And the F1 key is quite relatively rarely. You may need if you use Lenovo B590 laptop. You need to press and hold the key after turning on the device. The BIOS menu itself differs little from the standard.
The manufacturer recommends to charge enough laptop battery before entering the BIOS. If in the process of setting and installing parameters in the BIOS device will be disabled (due to lack of power). it is possible to problems in the further work of the laptop.
Honestly, not ready to comment on the latest recommendation: never experienced problems when the PC is turned off when it was in the BIOS settings.
