My laptop: Acer Aspire Switch 10E
My processor: Intel Atom Z3735F (64 bit processor)
Came pre-installed with 32 bit windows 8.1 now upgraded to windows 10
I believe this laptop has a 32 bit UEFI
First boot device is USB CDROM in bios
Secure boot has been disabled
My bootable media are not booting (although they are being recognised at start up going by the blinking on the optical drive)
Many of these bootable Cds are Linux based (I think) and just do not boot - though secure boot is disabled.
Neither do some of the uEFI boot supported cd/dvds
The only UEFI supported bootable CD that actually boots is acronis tru image bootable and when I checked in the folder structure it has the 32 bit and 64 bit efi files and their xml files too in the efi folder.
Other uefi boot cds/dvds did not have the 32 bit efi file.
What is going on. What are my options and where do I go from here.
I have NO technical knowledge at all of these things and I have googled intensively to find a solution and hence have been able to use some technical jargon above.
Any solutions or work-arounds are requested in the most lucid and explanatory language preferably with step wise guidance and links
Thanks very much for any advice and help
