I have a Lenovo IdeaPad U530 Touch with Windows 8 preinstalled. I tried to install Elementary OS, but discovered that the WiFi support wasn't there, so I decided to switch to Arch Linux.
The problem is that I can't seem to access UEFI/BIOS (I'm not sure which I'm supposed to do. I'm a newbie to this, but I think I need to go to UEFI), no matter which keys I press on startup (when the Lenovo logo appears). I have a USB drive with Arch Linux installed by using the Universal USB Installer software which I want to use to install Arch once I get to the UEFI/BIOS and configure it to boot from the USB first.
I can no longer access Windows because of the Elementary OS installation. Any ideas?

using FN+F2 I could get in to my BIOS
to be able to boot up from a USB driver, in Boot menu I set both to "Legacy Mode Support"
then I re-start, and entered the Bios again, to see the USB , and mSATA drive in the boot list order to put them in order that I wanted.
having said that, I end up to put it back in the original setting to be able to boot from the original HDD.
I am still trying to boot from a USB, and move the OS partition to the mSATA drive to make my system faster. (Acronise was not helpful :(( )
