    This sounds pretty stupid.. but here goes.

    To get into BIOS, we're supposed to push the blue Thinkvantage button right? I can't find a surefire way to get into BIOS doing that. Sometimes it will boot into BIOS, other times it boots straight to Recovery. Am I missing something here?

    As soon as you turn on the computer and the Lenovo splashscreen comes on, press and HOLD the F1 key. It will take you straight to the BIOS.
