Hi everyone, I’m new to tech republic, but I’m already loving it. I have a question which I have tried everything on but cannot fix on my own.
I have an Insignia laptop from Best Buy, running Windows 10.
I recently tried to boot it into Linux, specifically the newest version of Ubuntu, from a USB drive, which is 16GB.
I went into the advanced recovery menu, and selected the option that lets you boot into removable media, and chose something like “UEFI USB: Partition 1” which should have been the partition with Ubuntu formartted, on the USB.
The screen went black, and then showed the manufacturer (Insignia) and some loading screens, which is what has happened to every other PC I have put a new OS onto. And, the USB red light began flashing.
However, it just booted into windows.
It even did this when I went into the firmware settings and disabled windows recovery and windows boot as boot options.
Sorry for such a long post, wanted to give as many details as possible, thanks for any help or reply.
