Cannot access BIOS on Asus Laptop without new SSD
I replaced the SSD on my Asus Vivobook with the intent of installing Windows 10 from the usb. But when I power on, the computer does not try to boot from the usb, and I also cannot access the BIOS or boot menu in accordance with manual instructions: f2 during POST. I tried continuously holding the f2 and then powering on and also spamming f2.
I found an ASUS Support FAQ that seems to contradict what is in the manual: Due to Windows 10 Fast Start Up "you CANNOT press F2 to enter the BIOS configuration when booting the system." The video in the FAQ shows how to access the BIOS via Windows. But I don't have Windows on the computer! Surely there must be a way to add a new hard drive and then install Windows on it! But I've searched the forum and internet without success.
Thanks for your help!
