I've just bought a new laptop for Deidre and have been going bog-eyed setting it up for her since noon today. All is done - except.....I want to change the boot sequence to allow booting from an external source. This makes it easier to recover the machine, if necessary, by booting from a CD or USB with Acronis on it.
It's a cheapish ACER Aspire 3, 15.5" screen, Intel core i3 and a 128 GB SSD, running the ubiquitous Windows 10 Home.
I've always set the boot source as firstly, an external drive - usually an optical drive, (lacking in this Acer) and secondly, the main Windows boot area of the internal HDD.
There is no alternative boot source shown in the BIOS, just the internal SSD.
Any advice?
