Three months ago I got rid of my seven year old Dell Studio (may regret doing same). My new machine (Dell Inspiron 15-5578 with Windows 10 Home) will not boot to USB. I have USB boot enabled in setup. The new laptop is working flawlessly, so I hesitate to change settings in setup; like disabling "Secure boot" and changing to "Legacy" as I've read where a someone had trouble after doing so to boot Windows again.
A Dell forum expert gave me a long set of instructions to manually insert USB Boot in boot choices. I just don't understand why this feature is not automatically included.
I hope to be able to format the 500GB SSD drive and do a Windows 10 fresh instal; then partition and install Linux Mint, which is the way I had it on my old laptop.
