Hey everyone! I'm in a bit of a bind trying to install Linux on my friend's Asus Eee PC 1215n, which is running Windows 10 at the moment. I've got Mint XFCE ready on a USB stick, but I'm struggling to access the BIOS. Every time I start the laptop, I've been pressing Delete, F2, and Tab, but it just keeps booting into Windows instead of letting me in. This laptop is quite old, so finding help online has been tricky. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for getting into the BIOS?

From what I've found, F2 is the key for that laptop model. Just keep hammering it as soon as you start up the device!
Make sure to tap F2 continuously right after you power on the laptop. Another option is to try the Esc key to bring up the boot menu.
Have you given F11 a shot? That sometimes works for boot menus on older models.
Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately, it doesn't work either.
Got it, thanks! I think I wasn't smashing the F2 key fast enough before.
