What are you trying to boot?
Make sure you enable the F12 boot menu in the BIOS settings.

If you're trying to boot a compatible Windows 10 USB, then you can download the iso using the Microsoft Media Creation tool. And then use rufus to create a bootable USB. GPT, UEFI (non CSM), FAT32
Same settings with Linux.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you want to actually create the Windows 10 USB using the microsoft media creation tool instead of rufus, and you're using a different PC to create the USB media, then you should select "install on another PC" when the media creation tool prompts you.
If you're going to try to boot something other than windows, you'll probably need to temporarily disable secure boot. At least until you can add the proper file to the trusted secure boot settings. You'll need to create a supervisor password if you want to disable secure boot.
If you want to change the boot order, then you use the F6 key as described in link below.

If your BIOS supports, switch to legacy boot mode to be able to boot up into any kind of device. Remember though, Legacy is less secure compared to UEFI (not really an issue unless you have secret data or use it for work).obrovac33 said:Hi guys..

Hello JordanB
Im trying to boot windows 10
But i cant because i cant chose USB on BIOS
So sad that this laptop doesnt have CD drive 😃
i alredy activated F12 option and showing only . Windows Boot Manager
Maybe USB will shown up when i put USB in one of usb ports?
I think im going to send laptop to Acer because i still have my Waranty for this laptop
Everthing went crazy after last windows update...and now my windows wont came up i just tried everything like recovery or even cmd promt or recovery or something similiar like that0 -
Did you use the Microsoft Windows Media Creation Tool to create the bootable USB? This is the only way you can boot up a windows OS bootable USB drive when BIOS is on Secure Boot/UEFI.obrovac33 said:But i cant because i cant chose USB on BIOS

Yes, you have to insert your Windows 10 USB drive in to one of the USB ports in order for your UEFI to recognize it.obrovac33 said:Hello JordanB

Try Alt+F10 at boot. See video below.

Yes, you'll lose your original Acer OEM Windows 10 if you install the vanilla Windows 10 from the USB drive.
If you want to try to reset your PC instead, then watch the video below.

obrovac33 if you dont want to loose your Acer customized stock windows you have to clone your drive into another one before you format it to keel the recovery partition intact i would try a stock recovery first as it was already suggested above (ALT+F10 on boot and delete everything option) before you move to format your drive completely but its up to you
