Once it loads I see there's a system settings program in windows, that lets you change whatever. But it does bugger all. I can change it so it boots from USB. But if I plug a USB flash drive in, to try and boot from it, it does nothing I've tried ESC, F1, F2, after it restarts, does nothing. I've disabled fast boot in this system settings program, it still boots into windows |

Every other PC is different , even manufactures chop & change the post/boot f keys from year to year |

| 1427655 | 2016-10-19 22:15:00 | I'll see if there's something in control panel. There is a media creation option. You can use dvd or flash drive. Dont know why it's got the USB option. It fails before it starts | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1427656 | 2016-10-19 23:25:00 | It's F2 - if you 'mash' F2 as soon as you hit the power button, it should get you into the BIOS, otherwise hold down the shift key and click 'restart', then choose 'change setting in UEFI' or something to that effect. | wratterus (105) | ||
| 1427657 | 2016-10-20 02:42:00 | It was F2. Just took forever to get into the BIOS. Thought the prob was the hdd. So I removed it and put another hdd that hasnt been used in. And installed Win10 Home x64. It's just as bad lol (or worse) The disk usage isn't as high, but the CPU usage kept going to 99%, and made it slow as. Altho, it's only 1 GHZ. With 4 GB ram Don't think I'll reinstall the Toshiba crap that was on it. That'll probably bog it down. And some of the programs didnt work anyway. And I don't why the site has bluetooth drivers for it. I can't find any mention that this laptop has it. On the site, in the BIOS. or in device manager |

| 1427658 | 2016-10-20 03:27:00 | Does it have one of those AMD E1 or E2 processors? They are utter garbage if so, and the notebook will always be a dog - even with a SSD they are still average. I wish manufacturers wouldn't make computers with that lower spec. | wratterus (105) | ||
