Windows ver 23H2
Build 22631.3447
The Lenovo forum threw in the towel.
After installing Reflect (paid) home, creating a rescue flash drive and doing an initial image- I wanted to be sure the USB was set as #2 in the boot order. And to confirm that the machine would boot from the USB to Reflect.
I first tried the correct Function key to enter the BIOS. I did interrupt the boot but the screen remained black-no drive or USB activity.
I then tried the Shift/Restart approach with the same result.
And lastly the Terminal option but that one once a black screen appeared the computer then went to directly to the blue Windows login screen.
Just from the peanut gallery here... it looks like all three of the optional methods point to the same screen that offers various multi screen repair/entry options. And from there is where things go sideways.
Suggestions?
