So I was trying to use Linux Mint from live usb. I opened boot menu with F2 key, then set it to Legacy boot. I reboot my computer and try to get to boot menu by f2 key again but it doesn’t work. Any clue how I can get to boot menu?

(I apologize for my bad english.)

    Good evening avemaria !

    What EXACT model of your laptop?
    Are you trying to use it in live or install mode?
    Are you referring to BootMenu F12?
    Is your system in UEFi mode by default?

    Good morning,
    My computer is an Acer Aspire F 15 F5-572G-52AQ. I’m trying to use Linux Mint in live mode (with an USB). I think it was in UEFI (don’t really remember actually, sorry. I think I put it in Legacy boot?) I can’t get into Boot menu with F2 or F12.

    In this case the pendrive must be created with support for UEFi in GPT mode.
    Disable SecureBoot on Bios and activate BootMenu.

    (I lost my previous account. Made a new one)
    Nevermind, I got to boot menu with recovery settings(? The menu you go with ctrl/alt/del then reboot with shift) and changed it there. Couldn’t get into linux though ): lol
    Thanks for replying anyways! :)
