[Guide] Lenovo Legion Y520/Y720 using Clover UEFI

[MoShaikhon]

If you need more screenshots of the SYSTEM_DRV partition, let me know.

I've checked. Clover is installed.

Check BIOS settings to be sure you have set \EFI\CLOVER\CLOVERX64.EFI as default UEFI boot entry.

How can I do this?

Depends on BIOS options available.
Or you can use efibootmgr in Linux.

I renamed the SYSTEM_DRV/EFI/Microsoft/Boot/bootmgfw.efi to bootmgfw-orig.efi, but it didn't do the trick. I still got that booting error window and when I booted with my USB drive, I found that a new bootgfw.efi was created.

Update: I removed the bootmgfw-orig.efi and renamed the new bootmgfw.efi and it worked! Thank you very much.

Not recommended, as you'll need to do that after every Windows update.
Better to use efibootmgr as mentioned in my guide.

I don't have Linux, though.

I don't have Linux, though.

you can easily create a usb linux installer and use the option to try linux without installing it

I don't have Linux, though.

It is free and can be run directly from a USB.
