Try setting the BIOS to "Legacy" boot options instead of "UEFI" for
the installation, that should do the trick. At least recent BIOS on
Lenovo laptops all have that option (I had to do that yesterday when I
reinstalled on an SSD in my laptop) and you can just re-enable it
again (setting it to "both") once the installation is done.
