Probably the plus and minus keys. That's the way it is in most BIOSes and UEFIs. YMMV though.Stevo wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 7:26 pm Jeesh, I already forgot exactly what keys you use for changing it, but there's help on the Set Up screen. What you want to do is make MX 18.1 (or whatever version you have) the #1 entry on that list. You should see MX 18.1 further down on the list. That way it boots to GRUB instead of straight to Windows, and you can still boot to Windows from GRUB, too.
After resetting your system setup to boot in the UEFI mode, you need to boot from the MX-Linux USB and install MX-Linux again over the previous MX Linux. Once MX-Linux is reinstalled in the UEFI mode, you will be able to boot into either Windows or MX-Linux from the GRUB menu, as long as you haven't overwritten the Windows partitions.explodingbee wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 6:19 pm Hi Adrian: You are right. I rebooted while pressing F11 and Del and the system went to the bios utility. I then changed the boot mode to UEFI instead of Legacy. But now I am back to the original problem. When I boot up I get a message saying ">>checking media presence......" That stays there for about 3-4 minutes and then it goes right to the bios utility (without going to the grub menu or MX Linux or WIndows 10). So I cannot boot to the hard drive with MX Linux or Windows 10. (I can still boot from a USB drive with MX Linux on it and I can get online that way.)
So I am still stuck.
Hmm, actually that is not strictly needed to re-install the whole Linux operating system.
"Regarding the problem with the cursor jumping around that still seems to be happening.
I don't disagree. I was trying to suggest the easiest path for a non technical user. After all, installing MX is drop-dead easy, assuming the BIOS settings are agreeable to the desired outcomes and a few right choices are made during installation -- all of which are well documented by MX.
