Lenovo Xiaoxin BIOS Entry Guide | Generated by AI
Question: For the Lenovo Xiaoxin IAH8, which key is used to enter the BIOS?
Answer:
For the Lenovo Xiaoxin IAH8 (a China-market IdeaPad-style laptop), the key to enter the full BIOS/UEFI setup is typically F2 or Fn + F2.
- Power off the laptop completely.
- Power it on and immediately and repeatedly tap F2 as soon as the Lenovo logo appears on screen (spam it quickly and continuously until the BIOS menu loads).
- If that doesn’t work (common on many XiaoXin models where function keys are secondary), try holding Fn and tapping F2 (or spam Fn + F2 together repeatedly).
- Some XiaoXin variants may respond better to F1 / Fn + F1 — try that variation if the above fails.
- If your model has a Novo button (a small pinhole button usually on the side or near the power button), power off, press it with a paperclip or pin, and select “BIOS Setup” from the Novo menu that appears.
This matches the standard method for most recent Lenovo consumer laptops in the IdeaPad/XiaoXin series, including many 2024–2026 Xiaoxin models. It may take a few attempts — timing is important, and fast tapping helps. If none of these work, check for a fast boot/fast startup feature in Windows (disable it via power options) or update your BIOS from Lenovo’s Vantage app / support site, as that sometimes resolves key detection issues.
