    Can't Boot from Disk on New Laptop

    Hi guys,

    So I just got a new touchscreen laptop (Acer Aspire V5-571PG-9814) but I can't seem to get it to boot from the disk. I don't really get an option on what to click as well and it goes straight from the Acer load screen to Windows 8. I tried searching online and pressing F11 and F12 but it didn't do anything as well.


    Anyone have any ideas?
