Notebooks & Netbooks

I have the Aspire V5-123. I thought it was a bit too light for Windows 8 so I'm trying out a few Linux distros before installing them.

I've disabled the "secure boot" feature and am trying to boot Lubuntu, but it gives me the message "System doesn't have any USB boot option. Please select another boot option in Boot Manager Menu."

I'm puzzled.

In Legacy mode, you will find USB FDD, click that and click F6 to move it to make it first boot option, press F10 to save chages and exit. You can go back to UEFI mode once you install your OS.

Won't that wipe away Windows? I do wanna keep it for now in case I really hate linux.

You said, you want to try the Linux OS, have you made yourself familiar with Linux installation, you can try without installing, you can install in another partition after creating a partition, first and foremost get all the relevant information how you install Linux without spoiling your Windows installation.
