I bought an Acer Aspire E 15 yesterday and am relatively happy with it thus far. However, I do have a caveat. While I don't mind Windows, I prefer to use a Linux OS. I burned an Ubuntu ISO onto a DVD and rebooted the system. It started Windows 10. I restarted, went into the BIOS, and changed the boot order so that the DVD drive would be booted first. No can-do, still loaded up Windows. I changed the Boot sequence to a Legacy one, and then nothing booted up at all upon restart. So I just had to go back and change it back to where it was.
I want to try it on a flash drive, but cannot find it at the moment. I'm thinking that if I couldn't boot it up from DVD, it probably wouldn't boot up from a flash either, but will try anyway. Would upgrading the BIOS make a difference? I know that it isnt recommended, but to me, not being able to boot up from a CD to install the OS that I'd rather use is a pretty big deal to me. I have Googled and come up upon several Linux forums that weren't of much help. Can you guys figure out a fix? Thanks.
