Philip, thank you, but I am not trying to update my bios nor install another Windows OS. I am trying to install Ubuntu with dual boot (Windows 8.1 or Ubuntu)
I changed to Legacy boot and managed to boot from a DVD and start installing Ubuntu.
Unfortunately, I had to go back to Windows to change some disk partition and since then, I no longer manage to boot from a DVD. After boot I see the F2 and F12 options at the bottom roght hand side of the screen, but I can never go beyong this point when the Ubuntu installation iso image DVD is in.
Any idea what to do next? I have just restored the bios/UEFI back to factory setting.

Don't use DVD installation media. Use FAT32 formatted USB flash drives:
