I'm trying to use BIBM on a Win10 machine for the first time (el cheapo Acer Spin 3 laptop). I never install BIBM/Image on my machines; I always use Terabyte from bootable media. Never had a problem booting until now, but Win10 simply ignores my usb stick. In the bios I've put "USB FDD" and "USB HDD" first in boot order, even ahead of Windows Boot manager; no dice. When I do Shift-restart and boot to the boot menu, the only option is Windows Boot Manager, so there's nothing I can do.
Ho do I get this goofy little system to recognize my boot media? All I want to do is create a danged partition!
How to boot to my BIBM usb stick?

Do you have a separate boot menu in the BIOS? I mean the sort of thing
where you press a key on booting and get a boot menu where to can
select your boot device. Here I have to press F12.

Re: How to boot to my BIBM usb stick?
The system is most likely using UEFI booting. BIBM only supports Legacy booting. You would need to either use BIU or switch the BIOS to allow Legacy booting (assuming that option is supported by the system). You could also use IFL GUI which includes Partition Work and supports booting UEFI.
