Hi Bev, <br><br>I think it does matter what computer you are at. Those 10-15 seconds to Mint logo would suggest you have a UEFI boot enabled and you probably should be looking for &quot;bios&quot; config button rather then boot device selection menu. <br><br>Some uefi are real pain when it comes to changing the boot device. I even had a laptop that didn&#39;t have a boot menu as we all know it. <br><br>I was going to suggest here try using F10/F12, but... <br>With some devices you&#39;ll find that to get the F10 you must hold Fn first. Sound, brightness, connectivity are more popular recently than the good old F-keyes. <br><br>Good luck<br>Bart<br><br>Bev Nicolson &lt;<a href="mailto:lumos@gmx.co.uk">lumos@gmx.co.uk</a>&gt; napisał(a):<br>&gt; Now googling to find out what to press to get to the boot menu usually<br>&gt; brings up suggestions to hit the shift key. I keep trying this but am<br>&gt; not having any joy. Esc doesn&#39;t get me far either. Do I simply need to<br>&gt; keep trying or are there any other options? Does it make a difference<br>&gt; that I&#39;m using a laptop? I get 10/11 seconds till the Mint logo appears<br>&gt; if that&#39;s any help.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; It&#39;s all rather frustrating.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; Thanks in advance.<br>&gt;<br>&gt; Bev<br>&gt;<br>&gt; _______________________________________________<br>&gt; <a href="mailto:main@lists.alug.org.uk">main@lists.alug.org.uk</a><br>&gt; <a href="http://www.alug.org.uk/">http://www.alug.org.uk/</a><br>&gt; <a href="https://lists.alug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/main">https://lists.alug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/main</a><br>&gt; Unsubscribe?  See message headers or the web site above!<br>&gt;
