Try searching using Lenovo 100e Gen 2 -- slightly different.  You
might find leaving our the "Gen 2" helps.

| There is surely a key sequence during booting.  But the timing window 
| might be narrow.  And sometimes your system boots into a mode where you 
| have to type the function key to type the key you want.

Since the notebook was designed for students, maybe it was set up to be
hard to get to the UEFI firmware setup screen.

If you install Linux, you will still want a way to get to the UEFI setup 
screen.  This leaves you with a problem if you cannot get in with the 
magic-key-during-boot method.  Fedora seems to include a grub menu item to 
go to UEFI setup.  I don't know about other distros.
