I have I have bought an Acer nitro 5 laptop with 1TB hdd + 256gb ssd,, i installed linux on hdd but can't boot linux. It only boots up windows all the time. I tried to change the boot order in bios, but it only shows windows boot manager. I also tried F2 to select the 1TB hdd in which linux is installed but it only shows the ssd which has windows. I tried many linux distros..
