Getting help
What is the BIOS setup utility?
The BIOS setup utility is a ROM-based software. It displays basic computer information and
provides options for setting boot devices, security, hardware mode, and other preferences.
How can I start the BIOS setup utility?
To start the BIOS setup utility:
1 Shut down the computer.
2 Press the Novo button and then select BIOS Setup.
How can I change the boot mode?
There are two boot modes: UEFI and Legacy Support. 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 need to install a legacy operating
system, such as Windows, Linux or Dos, etc. (that is, any operating system before Windows 8) on
your computer, you must change the boot mode to
Legacy Support
. The legacy operating system,
such as Windows, Linux or Dos, etc. cannot be installed if you don't change the boot mode.
