The specific model is Aspire ES15 ES1--533-CL42, I've tapped F2 when it's booting up and in goes into Windows every time. F12 also leads to Windows. Fast Boot is disabled in settings although I don't understand why a Windows setting might affect that. Does anyone have any ideas? My intention is to install Fedora on it, I'm thinking at this stage that it might be easiest to remove the hard drive and install it when it is in a enclosure.

    Try pressing and holding the F2 key before you try to turn the machine on. You may also try to use the advanced startup option in Update/security settings recovery. Jack E/NJ
