       i'd like to install Linux Mint on an Asus Windows tablet with keyboard (model h101, Windows 10, 4 GB RAM, 64 bit) but when i start with the bios, the only option it shows for boot is "Windows Boot Manager" (the other is: "disabled"), no USB drive (i have prepared an installation FAT32-formatted pendrive with Mint, using unetbootin)i keep trying possible solutions that i've found online, but none seems to work, for now.do you have any suggestion on how to get it booted from the usb?thank you!

       do you have a link to the device? searching for h101 doesnt give me any resultsit could be that the bios/uefi actually runs as 32bits, while the main os is 64bits, which would make the iso unbootable. ive seen this on different windows tablets

       @rose apparently it was a pen drive problem, even if i tried it on my laptop and it worked, it couldn't be seen as a boot loader by the tablet. tried another one that i've found and i am now installing mint... it seems to be working. thank you!

       ah thats great to hear! much easier fix than the weirdness that comes from having to install a 32bit bootloader on a 64bit system lol
