    The manual should tell you what key to press to enter your BIOS during the POST. If you watch closely during boot up you may see a message on the screen telling you with key to press. One of the most common keys for that function is the Delete key.

    No, I think most common is one of the Fs...

    Anyway, isn't there a way to automatically enter to the BIOS on next POST?

    I restarted now and clicked a button, seemed to work, but the only problem is that I saw only my HDD and usb...

    • Press F1 or F2 after powering on the computer.
    • Older Lenovo products allow access to BIOS using Ctrl+Alt+F3, Ctrl+Alt+Ins, or Fn+F1.

    I did but I don't see all the option and I can not take a picture of it.

    There are no menus for various settings, and I don't see the clock I formerly saw on the american thing bios.

    seriously, there are only 3 options on a blue bright screen!!
    The only thing I recognized was the HDD settings, which I think is meant to disable/enable for booting.

    Sounds like you got the quick boot menu, that just lets you select what to boot from that one time. You can't boot to the BIOS from msconfig. msconfig loads when the OS loads which is already past the point of entry into the BIOS. Your owners manual should list what key gets you into the full BIOS menu.

    When you power up or after a restart there will be a POST (Power on self test) screen. A the bottom will be a list of keys to press to enter set up, system recover, Boot sequence, etc. Choose the one for set up. Usually F1, F11, F10, Del, or Esc. Try one, it won't harm anything

    I try now and the only button I see is F12 but it enters to the quick boot menu.
    Help?
    Can I pause the POST so I will be able to read everything?

    In the old days you could just press and hold the any key down and get into the BIOS. If you held a key down while the PC booted up you would get a keyboard error and a press F1 to enter setup message. I don't know if that works on todays modern PC's but it can't hurt to try it. I'll also say this "one more time", download the manual and look it up. You could have been in and done by now with 5 or 10 minutes worth of reading.
