Setting the bios in Lenovo Yoga 510-141KB

We investigate how to get inside the bios of this HP computer. It might be a different in every computer. I think it is this computer. It is a recent computer from 2017. I can only boot from usb to ArcoLinux from it since it is not mine. We can take a look at the bios settings

In our case it is FN + F2 what we need to get into the bios.

We check 3 things:

  • can we boot from usb
  • is virtualization enabled to be able to have virtualbox later – it was NOT enabled – configuration
  • secure boot

What you see beneath is the bootmenu FN + F12. That is needed if you have your usb plugged in and want to boot from USB.

I know it is not properly tested installing ArcoLinux all the way. You might need to change more settings. This is as far as I will go on someone else’s computer.

SECURE BOOT WAS ENABLED AGAIN AFTER REBOOTING IN THE BIOS AUTOMATICALLY.
