Chapter 4. Troubleshooting 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: 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. 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. Getting help How can I contact the customer support center? See "Chapter 3.
