New Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 won’t boot Windows / stuck in BIOS boot menu
Hi everyone
I just bought a brand new Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (Ryzen 5, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD) today.
When I turn it on, it always goes into the BIOS/boot menu instead of starting Windows.
ChatGPT thinks that This model is FreeDOS. And I need to install Windows 11 or provide a bootable Windows USB

If the laptop is new, it might come with a blank drive or pre-installed FreeDOS. Check the screen for any messages indicating "No OS found" or similar.
