Operating System: Linux

I'd like to enable Legacy Boot to boot my Linux distribution from HDD. But after a couple of hours of fighting with BIOS I'm really frustrated. I can't see a way how to enable Legacy Boot.

 

In Boot Options I can't see any selection list to "Legacy Support Enable" and no "Legacy Boot Order" options. No difference if Secure Boot is enabled or disabled. BIOS admin password is active.

 

I appreciate any help...

@DaveC11 

If there is no Legacy option in the BIOS, you will not be able to install a Linux distro on your drive and then boot it.

 

Modern PCs often now come without Legacy (or CSM) boot options and only have UEFI.

 

Also, we do not provide support for Linux, installation or booting.  So you will need to contact the support forum for the Linux distro you are planning on using for assistance.
