I am a Linux user - very basic techie..Been using Linux for 16 years. Installed Linux alongside Windows 10 on a new Acer Aspire c24-865.
PC boots straight in Windows ....
Since I cannot access UEFI in this BIOS (version R02-A0),
none of the solutions I have seen so far seem to apply ..
Thanks for your help!!! I tried all other solutions such as this:
Windows 10 Boots Automatically After Installing Ubuntu
dual-boot uefi

Boot with your Live USB and installboot-repairto it. Run boot repair and it should set it up to boot to grub where you can select either Windows 10 or Ubuntu from a menu. See: help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair

Tried that with no success... I feel the problem is related to the Acer Bios ... even with a supervisor PW set and secured boot off, I don't get any UEFI options .. cannot change the boot order.. Had I known wouls never had bought this Acer machine

Thanks for your answer... tried that - boot-repair went fine but nothing changed regarding UEFI's sequence... The ACER docum regarding management of UEFI does not apply either to this computer (new model)..
