BIOS setup utility

What is the BIOS setup utility?

The BIOS setup utility is a ROM-based software program. It displays basic computer information and provides options for setting boot devices, security, hardware mode, and other user preferences.

How can I start the BIOS setup utility?

To start the BIOS setup utility:

1Shut down the computer.

2Press the Novo button and then select BIOS Setup.

How can I change the boot mode?

There are two boot modes: UEFI and Legacy. To change the boot mode, start the BIOS setup utility and set boot mode to UEFI or Legacy support on the boot menu.

When do I need to change the boot mode?

The default boot mode for your computer is UEFI mode. If you choose to install a legacy Windows operating system (that is, any operating system prior to Windows 8) on your computer, you must change the boot mode to Legacy support. A legacy Windows operating system cannot be installed until you change the boot mode.
