Need help with dual boot Windows 10 and LL

It does not matter how I change the settings in the UEFI boot  it will not Boot into the USB drive.


The only way I can boot to a USB Drive is to log out of Windows  and because of the Quick Boot feature (i assume ) I have to hold the ON button to make the PC power down
.
Then I press the hidden button to get to  the  option menu (as above) >I then select the boot menu option > find the USB drive and click on it > the PC then boots into the Linux Mint OS and hopefully LL if I find an EFI ISO to install

I had to disable "virtualization" in my BIOS in order to boot either USB or DVD. After you have installed LL and booted up, shutdown again and re-enable it so that your other OS can boot without reconfiguring.
I had Win8 installed in UEFI and just disabled it and set to legacy, but i am not using your hardware.
It would be a good idea to get a spare HDD, extra one, or something so you can test and not break your setup on your current drive.

-I agree with Jerry about the ethical implications of UEFI, and support him in that. But at the same time your argument is valid. So unless a large community of us Linux users get together against it, or at least work to open UEFI to all OS's- this is how it is.
Just try and have fun tinkering with LinuxLite
( maybe some of us can get together a Uefi boot disk to use for any OS that isn't licensed ! HACK ?) or is that not legal ?
