Change Boot Order XPS 13 9370
Tried to boot of a USB. Tried F12. Couldn't figure out how to temporarily change the order there.
I have a Linux USB that allows me to start a Linux program that will let me clone the c:/ drive. After I'm done with the cloning, I want to boot up normally in Windows 10 Home.

Oh was that easy! Thanks! There it was "UEFI: USB disk 2.0 PMAP". I selected it. Then I chose 1 which was "start Acronis 64". How nice! Came back into windows very nicely afterward upon rebooting. On my previous XPS it was sometimes fussy rebooting back into Windows 10.

It isn't necessary to change the boot order. Simply press F12 at powerup with the boot media connected, and boot it from there.

Since you are using the F12 key, do you see a UEFI version of the Linux USB? What version of Linux are you using?

I am not able to see these options.. have windows 10 home and now I was Ubuntu in dual boot.. as there is only thunderbolt ports I use the USB extension on the port. The USB is not being recognized at all in boot loader or BIOS.. can't get it working at all..

If you don't see the flash drive in the boot list, the system doesn't see it as a bootable device.

Ah! One more tip: you may need to plug your USB stick/drive into the right USB port, as I found in this blog post. Only the right USB port is scanned during the boot sequence.
