sooo, I'm going to buy an ssd for my laptop (Lenovo z50-75, FX-7500 model) to replace the HDD. Thing is this laptop has the OneKey Recovery button on the side, used to access bios. This button boots the software from a hidden partition on the hard drive (OneKey partition), so if I clone the OS to the SSD I lose access to this software. Any way I could do something to keep access to this?

Can't check atm if i can access BIOS with F7/F12/Fwhatever because I'm not home. Maybe I'm just stupid and didn't know

I would suggest checking something on Lenovo's website about that, or the possibility of downloading the software so you can put it on the new drive. But there should be another way to access the computer bios without needing the HDD in it. That's just weird not to put an accessible bios on the motherboard.

When I searched for something, I found a post on the lenovo support forum where a guy was talking about a usb-bootable OneKey Recovery. I'll check the pc for another way when I get home
