You should disable the UEFI boot mode and return to legacy mode in the boot settings. Only then it boots from the USB. Also put USB as HDD primary.

it may sound silly.. but you did burn the image you downloade to the pendrive as a bootable drive and not just copied it over.

Hate to disillusion the 2 Members above, but this question was asked over 12 months ago, and the OP has not been seen since 1 April 2020, so has likely either resolved the issue or gone back to Windows 10, as he flagged.

Welcome to the forums,
first open the bios and make sure boot from USB is enabled,
once this is done the short boot key for Lenovo is usually F12, jiggle this key whilst switching on to open the short boot menu,
First read and follow this guide. An Ubuntu based distribution will normally be the easiest to install, BUT you will need to install drivers for your wi-fi and graphics card after installation, so you will need an ethernet or some other connection than WI-FI
