Acer Aspire e 15 cannot boot from CD

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.
