How to Enable the F12 Boot Menu

The F12 Boot Menu allows you to choose which device that you would like to boot the computer's Operating System from by pressing the F12 key during the computer's Power On Self Test, or POST process. Some notebook and netbook models have the F12 Boot Menu disabled by default.

To enable the F12 Boot Menu:

1. Restart the computer.
2. Press the F2 key to enter computer's BIOS Setup during Power-On Self-Test, or POST, process  while the Acer logo is being displayed.
3. Press the Right Arrow key to select Main
4. Select F12 Boot Menu
5. Press the Enter key
6. Select Enabled
7. Press the Enter key
8. Press the F10 key and then press the Enter key to save the changes and restart the computer.

Note: Not all Acer notebooks or netbooks have the F12 Boot Menu feature. Computers that do not have the F12 Boot Menu feature will not be able to enable the feature within the BIOS.
