Hi there,

So I've had Ubuntu 14.04 on my laptop for a while now and need windows again for uni. I've got a bootable USB with windows on it but can't figure out how to boot from the USB. The bios commands that I used to use on windows to change boot priority etc don't work. If someone could lead me in the right direction or if it's really easy and I'm just being stupid that'd be great.

Thanks

You just have to be faster than the OS.
With some boards, and 'ultrafast boot' turned on, this is almost impossible.

I know which keys open the bios menus, but none of them work. F8 for boot priority and DEL for the BIOS menu. Nothing is working, unfortunately.
