Lenovo BIOS button - How to get into BIOS

To get into the BIOS of your Lenovo laptop there are several options available. Through keyboard shortcuts or a small hidden Novo button, it is possible to get into the BIOS settings. If you use Windows 10, then you can also get into the BIOS via the recovery options in the settings.

On newer Lenovo laptops, there is often the "Novo" button. This button is a small, round dot that you have to press in with a ballpoint pen or similar while the laptop is off.

1. To find the Novo button, it usually helps to take a look at the device's user manual.
2. Once you press the button, the laptop starts. In a menu, select the BIOS setup.
3. If your laptop does not have a Novo button, try the following keys (combinations) during the boot process: "F1" or "F2"; "Ctrl + Alt + F11"; "Ctrl + Alt + F3" or "Ctrl + Alt + Ins".
