Hello again. I downloaded Etcher and then tried out Xubuntu 18.04 (32 bit). Being still in Beta, I did not try LL 4.0. I burned Xubuntu to a USB 3.0 Flash Drive, which seemed to proceed smoothly, but no dice. Again, it wasn't recognised when I attempted to change boot settings.
I just think it isn't possible with this soldered on eMMC drive :-\ . My problem is the BIOS settings are configured quite differently to what I am accustomed to. One has to dig deep to determine if Secure Boot is disabled and Legacy BIOS support is enabled.
This is what is displayed within the Security tab: Attempt Secure Boot = [Disabled]
Secure Boot Mode = [Customized] (The other option is "Standard")
Under the Advanced tab, sub-heading USB Configuration: Legacy USB Support = [Enabled]
If I decide to purchase a 64GB SD card (which the laptop has provision for) and try Etcher again to install LL 4.0 when it's released (my preference), will I strike the same problem? I have a feeling the Recovery and EFI partitions for Windows 10 on my eMMC drive stand in the way and worse still, if I'm able to move them to the SSD using Easeus, Macrium etc the laptop will fail to boot period.
