I tried a couple of times changing the boot device and never was able to get past a Windows boot. (Note I was trying to boot off a USB DVD and DVD was one of the boot options in the BIOS.) I'm returning it to Amazon and looking for something else. ... That search sounds like a good idea, thanks. I did find what seems like a better choice: Qotom-Q330G4. Much better documentation, too. I'm looking at 8 Gb RAM and 128 Gb SSD. Is that too much? -Tom
