Also try Enter, Escape and Delete (modern Lenovo PCs display a list
of options when you press Enter).<br>

have a reasonably new ASUS Vivobook with Windows 11 installed.
I would <br>
really like to get rid of Windows 11 and install a Linux
distribution <br>
instead.<br>
<br>
I've downloaded Ubuntu onto a memory stick, but can't get any
further <br>
because I can't find any way to alter the boot order. The
BIOS screen <br>
appears when I repeatedly hit Esc on startup, but as far as I
can see <br>
there is no option to allow the machine to look for a USB
stick before <br>
it boots from the hard drive. Searching the internet came up
with any <br>
number of suggestions, but none of them works for me as the
options they <br>
mention don't appear on my BIOS screen.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know where I can find the option to boot from USB,
or any <br>
other way of getting Linux installed on this machine?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
