Greetings
Laptop: Dell Inspiron 15 3521
CPU: I5-3337U
Memory: 4GB
Hard Disk: 750GB

How do I boot from cd?

Legacy Boot (inaccessible)
UEFI Boot:
Load Legacy Option Rom (inaccessible)
Boot List Option (inaccessible)
Secure boot
Secure Boot Mode
Restore Factory Defaults (inaccessible)
Delete All Security Boot Keys (inaccessible)
Add Boot Option
Delete Boot Option (inaccessible)
View Boot Option Properties (inaccessible)
when I try to add boot option I see only the hard disk.

Press the F12 key with a bootable DVD in the drive and you can then boot from the DVD drive.

To boot from a CD/DVD you must turn secure boot OFF and boot in Legacy mode.

thanks for your quick reply.
when I do this I get the following screen:
Legacy Boot:
UEFI Boot:
Secure Boot (inaccessible)
Load Legacy Option Rom (inaccessible)
Boot Liat Option
and I don't have Add Boot option
Is that the correct way the boot screen looks like to boot from cd/dvd?
thanks
