X220 bios setup for upgrade bios using bootable CD

Since X220 BIOS upgrade cannot running on Windows 10, we need to use bootable CD to run the upgrade.

Beside, if you using UEFI boot for the Windows 10, you need to change the boot mode to both or legacy to run the CD to upgrade BIOS. After the upgrade complete, back to UEFI boot.

Convert MBR to GPT to enable EFI and enable secure boot (Test on Windows 10 17093 insider build and Lenovo x230)

Since the official method did not work on 17093 (Might be hit bugs since it is insider build)

Remark: Make a full backup of your hard disk first

1. Use PartitionGuru software (Free edition) to convert the whole hard disk from MBR to GPT (Convert To GUID Partition Table)

2. Converting Windows BIOS installation to UEFI start from step 3 to end step (The gptgen seems to be not work on 17093, that why I use PartitionGuru)
