Nope. Hitting Enter or F1 brings you into Windows diagnostics rather than BIOS, at least on the Thinkpad X13 Gen 2 Ryzen Pro subnotebook w/ useless Windows installed a customer sent me for a project, and that is now contributing to a growing number of 3 bricked (brand-new!) latitude/precision and thinkpad notebook trash I'm accumulating at home. With the current state of non-existant quality in PC notebook hardware, I'm not going to buy anything except Apple hardware. Right now I'm back to using a 2016 XPS, with my 2019 Thinkpad collecting dust (and blocking its crap trackpad due to it); it's not that there are news regarding x64 performance since over ten years anyway.

Your X13 is not the same as a Z13.

My X13 Gen 2 AMD goes to BIOS setup when hitting F1, just like other Thinkpads I've had.
