However, you may put Windows on the hard drive and boot from that.
I have attempted EVERYTHING.
I changed the bios to the latest "BIOS Linux UEFI Windows version," now available on this page. favicon for the website: Support | Acer USA
Nothing works; I've tried installing UEFI/GPT and BIOS/MBR, and neither Linux nor FreeBSD installs without issues.
You can install either, but unless Windows is installed on the hard drive, the bios won't detect it or boot.
In several posts, disabling secure boot and setting a supervisor password in the BIOS is advised.
THIS IS UNWORKABLE.
Once the supervisor password has been established, there is no longer a new option to turn off secure boot. Or any modification to the accessible parameters.
Secure boot cannot be enabled or disabled in the BIOS.
Furthermore, there is no way to modify the fact that it only enables booting Windows from the hard disc.
annoying
Even the bios page refers to "Linux," which is a complete misnomer.
Customers choose this all-in-one.
I'm so sorry I wasn't there to tell them never to purchase this junk that purposefully doesn't support booting Linux.
I haven't experienced this issue with any computer hardware in years.
I will never do so again.
The Linux and FreeBSD installers fully install the hard drive with MBR or UEFI.
It won't boot because of this piece of ***** bios, which is deliberate.
