Change boot sequence

[longshanks70]

How do I change the boot sequence in Windows 10? when I used Win 7 the F12 key was used now on my new laptop this function is not here.
thanks

it mostly depends on the model of the laptop; some are [esc] key, others use [F1]

if it is a dual boot system then you can change which one loads by default in advanced system settings

hi,
thanks for your reply The model is an HP 255, Win 10 what I eventually want to do is create a dual boot with Linux but at the moment I just want to be able to run it from a live usb so I want to be able to change the boot sequence to do this.

Press "Esc" or "F9" right away after the power ... Press "Esc" to open a menu that you can then pick your option from or "F9" which should be the boot option

the point is that then means if a single key isn't working for whatever reason you can still get into your system
