I have a m15 R6 without legacy mode. I can't figure out how to boot it from an external DVD?

With a bootable (needs to be  UEFI-compliant) DVD in the drive, press F12 at powerup.

note:  You can do a lot of damage to the installed operating system by booting a non-UEFI compliant utility disc on a system that doesn't support legacy/MBR.  Make sure whatever is on the disc is UEFI/GPT compliant.

ok, Thank you....so let me check my understanding.

The cdrom / DVD disk has to be UEFI bootable / compliant for the machine to recognize it after F12?  Any newer external DVD drive should work?
