My new 2022 Gateway GWTN141-10SL won't boot from legacy USB - today's date is 2022-08-30, by the way.
I set the BIOS to Legacy boot, with First device = USB Key, and it won't boot from the USB in either USB2/3 rectangular socket.
( The CMOS calls it a USB 'Key' - it's a USB Flash/Thumb/Drive/Stick, whatever ).
The USB Drive boots OK in other PCs, no problem.
I can set the UEFI to boot to UEFI USB Key, with first device = USB Key., and that boots OK with a different USB drive, a UEFI USB Thumb drive.
If it won't really boot to legacy devices, that's a compromise that limits the computer's all-purpose usefulness.
It's a brand new Intel i5 11th generation 16 GB RAM 256 SSD, modern design, the CMOS/BIOS/UEFI pages are endless with details, details, details of the setting options, offering Legacy USB Boot settings, but they don't work.
Has anyone successfully gotten a Gateway GWTN141-10SL to boot from legacy USB?
Hitchhike 2nd question while we're here, how to I set it to boot with function keys primary, the [ Fn ] button then calls the picture/icons features, but the defauts ads [ F1 ], [ F2 ], and so on?
Unlike Dell and HP computers, is there no CMOS/BIOS/UEFU setting to toggle the FN/Function keys?
I look forward to chatting with anyone who's solved this, or can confirm that the computer really doe s not have these 2 options/features.
Thanks for letting me explore this and share.
