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

        Generally hitting one of the f keys gets a boot
          menu F8 to F12 might work.
        Best of luck

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