I've been helping a rookie team (6161) set up their Acer Aspire E11. We had the same problem - no boot menu with F12. We need to set it as an option in BIOS setup, but we were able to get into Setup with the F2 key on boot.

We still have problems, however. Now we get the boot menu with the F12 key, but the USB stick is not on the boot list, just the Windows C: drive. We downloaded the image files and created a new bootable USB stick, no luck. We also tried turning off secure boot. That same USB stick is discovered as a bootable USB HDD when I bring up a Lenovo IdeaPad with an F12 boot. It's also discovered as bootable by my new MacBook Pro, for that matter.

One thing I haven't tried is modifying the EFI boot setting in Setup.

Is anyone else having these problems? Can we use the Acer without re-imaging it?

Thanks!
