BIOS is the basic structural system of a computer, whose task is to test the computer hardware before starting the operating system. Usually the BIOS looks like a text table. Navigation in this table is carried out using the keys indicated in the menu. Lenovo Notebook BIOS Setup allows you to change device connection settings and select a source to boot your computer's operating system.

Instructions
Step 1
Connect your Lenovo laptop to AC power. If power is suddenly cut off during BIOS operations, this may adversely affect the continued operation of the computer.
Step 2
If you do not have instructions for a Lenovo laptop at hand, you will have to go online and find out the necessary information on the manufacturer's website (https://www.ibm.com/ru/ru/). This can be done both online and by downloading the instruction in the form of an expanded PDF file. In order to read this manual, a special program must be installed on your computer, for example, Adobe Reader (https://www.adobe.com/ru/) or Foxit PDF Reader (https://www.foxitsoftware.com/).
Step 3
If, for technical reasons, access to the Internet is not possible, then you will have to act independently. Turn on your computer and watch the information appear on its screen. Usually, to make life easier for the user, at the very beginning of a laptop, for a couple of seconds (just while the BIOS is conducting a test poll of computer devices) a hint appears in the form of a key name or a key combination that must be pressed and not released until then, until the laptop enters the BIOS table.
Step 4
Pay attention to the designations F2 and F12. It is these keys on a Lenovo laptop that are designed to interrupt the test polling of devices and prevent the operating system from loading.
Step 5
Press and hold the F12 key on your keyboard. Thus, you indicate your desire to enter one of the BIOS partitions, which is called Quick Boot. This small but very important subset of the computer architecture is designed to prioritize the boot of the computer. Having entered the priority table, you can change the order so that after a successful BIOS operation, the computer first accesses, for example, the CD-rom, then the USB port, and only then the HDD. Such operations with the boot line are typical for the reinstallation of the operating system on a Lenovo laptop.
Step 6
Press F2 to enter the main BIOS menu. Here, an experienced user has access to the settings of a large number of parameters of various devices. Unlike conventional PCs, the laptop BIOS also allows you to:
- set up a security system;
- change the nature of the touchpad;
- correct the output of the image on the display;
- calibrate the battery, as well as view the serial number of the device, its motherboard and other equipment.
