how to safely undock from docking station in windows 8

Hi All 

I have Windows 8.1 Pro on Lenovo T440p and have docking station which is connected to 2 external screens, mouse, keyboard and etc... For some reason I can't find anywhere undock button to safely remove it from the docking station. Windows 7 hard this. 

Can anyone help me find it? 

Thank you in advance.

Since this is a Windows 7 forum I would not expect too many people here to be familiar with Windows 8.  The Windows 8 forums can be found @ https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/home?category=w8itpro

You would probably have more success if you went to the Lenovo Community website and posted this in the appropriate forum there.

Hi Farukh,

Undock a Portable Computer
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754084.aspx

According to the additional considerations:

Undock appears on the Shutdown Options menu only if the computer is Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI)-enabled and recognized as a portable computer in a docking station. If Undock does not appear on the Shutdown Options menu, your computer is not ACPI-enabled, or might not support undocking.

Some computers have an eject button on the docking station. Pressing the eject button instead of following this procedure also undocks the laptop. For more information, see the documentation provided with your docking station.

You may need to contact the Lenovo to confirm the machine supports undocking .

Best regards
