Almost 20 years ago I would use chasms.com, which had similar click-through screens for Windows. It was hugely helpful in being able to see the various dial-up Internet configuration screens when I worked part-time on an ISP help desk.
The site is still there and still being updated! The oldest example is now https://www.chasms.com/winxp/desktop.htm# https://www.chasms.com/winxp/desktop.htm#
- gregmac 7y agoWow, this is great! I don't do a lot of remote support, aside from immediate family, but I don't remember settings by name -- especially for an older OS I no longer use -- so this is a great resource. So often I've had a frustrating conversation like "Okay, do you see something that says 'wifi' or 'ethernet'? Hm, ok, no go back.. is there another button that says 'Network' or 'Adapter settings' or something like that on the screen?". I like that Lenovo has this resource too (and exposes it publicly), and really every manufacturer should, but I honestly can't think of a time I've ever had to remotely fix a system by changing something in BIOS. It's pretty rare to change a setting there in the first place, aside from when you're doing the initial build or major hardware changes. If you were providing remote support to the people doing the hardware changes, though, this would be invaluable.
