Aspire E15 won't let me open boot menu

I just got the laptop today and was trying to install Ubuntu by booting from stick. I disabled fast boot and tried to press F12 while starting the laptop, it still brings me straight to Windows after showing the acer logo. F2 doesn't even open BIOS. I'd appreciate if anyone could help.

you can enter UEFI BIOS from windows options too:

F12 key must be enabled on BIOS, is disabled by default.

 

Ubuntu must be x64 version and the USB flash drive must have GPT partition scheme and FAT32 formatted to be able to boot.

Thank you. Is there anyway to enable BIOS by pressing F2?

IronFly

normally F2 will work and there's no enable function but windows 10, sometimes, has this behaviour.

 

i don't have suggestion about this issue.
