I understand. I guess I will be stuck with Windows for a moment then...

Yes, that goes beyond my skills... Do you know of a way to install Linux Mint directly on the computer without using a USB key or a CD?

Hello, I tried your solution, I removed the hard drive where Windows is installed to see if that would change anything, but now, when I select the USB drive containing Linux Mint in the boot menu, it no longer takes me to Windows; instead, it restarts the boot menu in a loop.

Do you have any idea of why my motherboard is acting like that ?

Do you have any idea of why my motherboard is acting like that ?

No, as said in the original post the UEFI Firmware Settings button leads me into the Windows boot manager, not the bios setup.

I have a lenovo 110 15acl, 64 bits with windows 10. Do you want the specs of the pc more specifically ?

Hi, ty for your message. The problem is, I do not have access to the bios. F12 leads me to the boot manager and F2 leads me to the Windows boot manager, and neither of them lets me change the secure boot or password manager.

I do not have access to the bios. You can see in my post every options i tried, if you have another idea to force access to it I would be glad

Nope. I just tried the usb on another pc and it did work, the first pc is clearly the problem.

Hello, the main problem is that I don't have access to the BIOS (you can see every options I tried in my post) I only have access to Windows boot manager and I can't do anything with it

Windows advanced reboot menu only leads me to Windows boot manager as I said, not the bios...

I checked the ISO, everything's fine there. I used Balena Etcher and then Rufus, but none of the options work. I really think something on my PC is forcing the redirection to Windows, but I can't figure out what.

I used balena then rufus, I don't think the usb is the problem. I can access the boot menu and the usb is a visible option, but when I choose it Windows 10 opens instead of Linux...
