I'm having trouble accessing the BIOS on my older Lenovo computer (2013 model) because it uses legacy BIOS instead of UEFI. I've been trying to reset my system since it's been running really slow, and I created a bootable USB drive to reinstall Windows 10. However, my computer won't auto-boot from the USB. I've tried every single key I could think of to access BIOS—ESC, F1, F2, F3, F6, F9, F10, F11, F12, DEL, and even CTRL+ALT+DEL, but nothing seems to work. I've spent the last two days trying to find a solution without success. Any advice?

Make sure to check the specific key for your Lenovo model, as it might be a bit different. A good technique is to start pressing the key repeatedly right after you power it on, instead of holding it down. Sometimes that helps in getting into BIOS more reliably!
I checked Lenovo's website, and it says F1, F2, or FN+F2 should work, but I’ve already tried all of those. Thanks for the tip, though!
