I have a laptop with WIndows 10, but this seems to be fixed instaliert, neither boot with ISO nor boot usb / cd can't start another operating system = Bootet directly in Windows. A BIOS or similar Does not seem to give it directly.
Now for the question. Is it somehow possible to install a Linux on this laptop?
If you can't start the BIOS, you should rethink the use of Linux, but heck. Simply spam F12 / F10 (usually) while booting and then select your boot medium. Of course, the prerequisite is that the medium is bootable at all.
Bios are ALWAYS available. And boot order can always be set.
Maybe just FastBoot is activated. But even then you can get to the boot medium menu with the right key (usually F2, F8, F10 or F12).
Otherwise, I give GrakaVII right: if you do not even manage to get into bios, you should rather stick to a friendly operating system…
I have here n large stand calculator with both already on it (windows and Linux.
It goes first and foremost with this cheap laptop recruiting with your lite operating system
No button spamming like / f10 / F12 / DEL has worked so far.
It does not even work with a USB stick created with the windows media creation tool
Do you have any more tips?
Ok I was by default only F8 / F10 / F12 / DEL known. F2 has given with the bios
Each device needs a BIOS, otherwise the boot process will not work. How is the hard drive partitioned? GPT / MBR? If you do not come to the bios, that may be due to a fast boot setting. Boot into your OS and Shift-click Restart, then Bios as the boot order changes, Secure Boot disable. If that does not work, then just remove the Windows disk in the laptop, format it and create a new GPT partition.
A firmware (e.g., UEFI) is available with every device running Windows NT. However, UEFI normally does not scan notebooks in their standard configuration for removable drives, such as USB sticks, SD cards, or DVD-ROMs for operating systems, to make booting faster.
However, you can interrupt the normal starting process by pressing a specific key immediately after switching on the device. Which key that is depends on the device. For many notebooks (Lenovo ThinkPads, many HP models), this is currently the Enter key. Otherwise would be Esc, Tab, F9, F10, F11, F12 … Possible Kanidaten. If you do not have the manual at hand, trying it out is the most useful method. Due to the performance of today's notebooks, the time window in which the startup process can be interrupted is correspondingly short.
