I created an account on this forum just to say this but god bless you all and especially god bless you HeyItsChris
Your method and thread saved a perfectly fine lenovo laptop from rotting somewhere in my house for who knows how long.
I bought the old lenovo laptop to be used as a home server, unfortunately, just like you, the BIOS screen was nowhere to be seen and secure boot being enabled prevented me to install linux on it (booting into the installer). I was kinda mad about it for the past week, I had tried everything to reach the BIOS, resetting windows, opening up my PC, resetting the cmos battery, changing the hard drive, I then came to use lenovo's bios installer executable but because the baterry on the laptop was totally dead, this program couldn't run, I used other bios updater programs, they did not work either.
I came across your thread and well, everything works now (you can't imagine how happy I was when the bios screen appeared, I couldn't even believe my eyes at first).
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Chris !
