How to enter Lenovo BIOS setup utility in Windows 10, 8

The standard method for entering the BIOS Setup Utility is to tap a specific function key while the computer is booting. The required key is either F1 or F2, depending on the model of machine.

Certain systems also require holding down the Fn key while tapping the F1 or F2 key. If the color of F1 through F12 is orange or blue, then holding the Fn key is required to enable the function keys. However, if the color of F1 through F12 on the keyboard is white, holding the Fn key is not required.
