So I just got a new computer.

Lenovo Edge 15, i7, 8G ram, 1t
Model 80k9

My problem is that I can't get to the BIOS to load up the USB. I have tried f1, f10, f11, f12, delete, and fn f11.
If anybody knows the trick for getting lenovos into BIOS or it there is a specific windows 10 trick please let me know.

PS. Sorry if this is a re-post, I couldn't find any others that answered my question.

On my Dell Inspiron 13 I need to power the laptop off and leave it off for about 10 seconds or more to get it to show the options to get into the bios. If I don't do this it will go straight to the OS without showing the bootloader. Kind of like a hot boot or something.

bios So I can't get into BIOS yet, but I did figure out how to boot from the USB. It is similar to qamelian's 2nd link.

For anyone ells that needs it in the future if you hold down shift while clicking restart it loads into a different menu. From there you can boot from a different drive. USB HDD is what worked for me.
