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 BIOSĀ 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 onĀ this machine?<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance<br>
