The following tutorial will explain the following topics
It is not the idea to explain every single option of the above, since many of them are complex and it would be too extensive for such a tutorial like this.
To execute any of the tasks above you need to press the button marked with the red arrow in the picture below:
Press the button when the Y3P is off! Use a small pointing device, I use the tablet pen of one of my Thinkpad tablets
Once you press the button you will be presented with the following screen:
Use the cursor keys to move up and down, press Enter to choose an option.
The BIOS is where you can get technical information about your device, as well to change boot parameters and setting up security passwords. Be very careful when changing certain values, since it can affect the way the Y3P works and/or affect performance and security settings.
Information Screen
It gives the hardware details of the Y3P, like CPU, installed RAM, SSD capacity and so on. This is a display only screen, no settings can be changed here:
Configuration Screen
Time and date can be changed in this screen. Furthermore to deactivate the Wireless LAN and enable the Intel Virtual Technology. If you plan to use Virtual Machine software in your Y3P this setting must be enabled
Passwords can be set up in this section. Secure Boot settings can be changed here.
Primarily designed to protect users from rootkits and other malware attacks by blocking unauthorized executables and drivers from being loaded during the boot process, it must be deactivated if you plan to install Linux or having paralel operating systems
Boot Screen
Boot modes can be selected in this screen, you can disable booting from a USB stick or from a network for example
This option is useful if you have Linux installed (using managers like LILO, GRUB, etc).
If you only use Win8 or higher there 's no much you can change.
This option will allow you to restore the system to either its factory setup, or to a previous backup done within Windows
A factory set up will leave the Y3P as it was shipped from Lenovo your private data and installed apps and/or programs will be wiped out. So make sure you have an external backup before such a reset
What was yor question? From what I can tell the post was made to answer its own questions.
On my Y700 the NOVO button makes my notebook go into an infinite reboot loop. Is there other function keys that can get me to enter BIOS?
This was very helpful. Thank you. Found the bios button and changed what I needed to change.
Current Redhat, Fedora and Ubuntu Linux distributions come with kernel loaders signed by Microsoft - so you don't need to disable "Secure" boot if you are trying to install one of these. I've recently done exactly that on a 510.
Sadly there seems to be no option to add your own keys to the firmware, but at least there is an option to disable this silly bit of functionality.
I received the following. Default Boot Device Missing or Boot failed. Insert recovery media and hit any key. Then select Boot manager or to Boot recovery media. Lenovo yoga 3 pro.
