I'm trying to boot into legacy mode to work with another OS on a usb stick. The stick doesn't appear in the boot menu. Secure boot is disabled....what else needs to be done? There doesn't appear any kind of legacy mode to select in the bios. Also, this model in so new, there are no YouTube videos on how to upgrade. And no pictures of the internals to reference...anyone have any? I'm not sure about the Hard drive setup, ie what kind of cable is needed, and where it goes on the motherboard..

@GJBNH-1 

There can be a second UEFI/BIOS setting known as Disable booting from portable devices.  If this is Enabled, your PC will not boot from a USB stick.  I don't know where specifically this is located in the settings, so you will have to look to see if it is there.

If you disable secure boot it will automatically enable the legacy support. Are you getting the boot from the USB drive option in the BIOS?
