Good day all
My machine
Lenovo Ideapad 3 , Intel Core i5
Integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics
Goal
1. First test MX Linux by booting it from a thumb-drive
2. Then install MX Linux
I have created a bootable thumb drive ( MX Linux) and want to change the boot order in the BIOS so that the thumb drive can boot.
Under "boot" in the bios, however, the only boot option in the list , is the windows boot manager.
I did actually boot from an Ubuntu thumb drive 2 months ago and I was able to modify the boot order list because the USB boot was in the
list. I am engading Lenovo in this regard for support, but I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
So the procedure I followed was..
switch on
F2 ( go into BIOS )
Disable secure boot
goto BOOT to try and change boot order ( USB not in the list)
I thought it might correct itself by loading default settings ... still the same
If someone has experienced this and could perhaps offer a word of wisdom, it will be appreciated.
In the meantime I am awaiting a response from Lenovo
Thank you in advance
