This Laptop could not be booted by a USB stick due to Microsoft’s hold on its BIOS.
It had Windows without any software.
On my frequent sojourns abroad, I accidentally found it in Mustafa Centre in Singapore.
I purchased it for a cheap price, without knowing it had an issue on its Boot Menu.
Additionally it had the figure of 8 virus which inserts itself at text level and at many entry points.
I now know how to negotiate this inconvenience and this laptop probably was the very reason I migrated to Linux for good.
I did not have the proper sense to test it before purchasing and beware if one purchases a "marked down" gadget even in Singapore.
After a while, Windows Installation was erased with TRUE OS which is defunct now using the the TRUE OS Boot CD to connect to the Internet thereby, bypassing the use of USB Slot as a boot device which Microsoft owns by secret alliance with the O.E.M guys.
One has to be smart to bypass the Microsoft Hegemony.
I paid for the hardware and Microsoft cannot own it after the point of purchase!
This laptop is working fine with Endless OS installed.
