Hello @Artyom2
Opening the BIOS Setup Utility
Access the BIOS Setup Utility using a series of key presses during the boot process.
- Turn off the computer and wait five seconds.
- Turn on the computer, and then immediately press the esc key repeatedly until the Startup Menu opens.
- Press f10 to open the BIOS Setup Utility.

i turned off computer, waited 5 seconds, but after starting computer and continuously pressing ECS, BIOS Setup Utility was not open. I pressed to ESC until the Windows opened, maybe BIOS Setup Utility was skipped because any error

To help you I need to know the product number (p/n) of your notebook !
You will find this information on the back of your notebook printed in small alphanumeric letters.
The product number (p/n) is legally allowed information, just about the computer, no sensitive data.
It is allowed to post in public, no problem.
