Boot from USB Drive on Windows 10 PCIf you have fast boot or ultra fast boot enabled in your UEFI firmware settings, then you will need to temporarily disable fast boot or ultra fast boot to be able to boot from a USB.
I did not see anything about fastboot in the UEFI settings. I did see an option for bringing up the boot menu with the F12 key. I enabled that to see what would happen. But once I rebooted and hit F12,. The Hard Drive was the only option. The USB was not listed

It's an Acer Aspire ES 15. I did see the Legacy boot mode option. You could choose between UEFI and Legacy . I will try that in the morning. Thank you.
I was able to select my USB drive in the boot list after enabling Legacy Mode. Running Memtest now.
11 passes when I got home. Zero errors. Not sure what to do now. I am thinking he may of downloaded something that caused this. Unfortunately it won't let me restore to a previous backup .
