Unless I missed it, I don't think you've mentioned the laptop brand and model, which might give a clue to someone reading this. Also, and sorry to be obvious, but have you checked the laptop manufacturer's website for BIOS documentation (often under Support)? That should tell you what the magic key combo is to get to the BIOS menu, which in turn will let you configure what boot device to use. As a last resort, try just holding down the DEL key while restarting. That works on some models. Other might use F11, F12 etc. so it's a toss-up. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
