Boot menu in LATITUDE E7440
Hello,
I am trying to download Linux ubuntu on my Dell Latitude E7440.
I read online that I can access the boot menu by pressing F12, but on startup, when I do, nothing happens.
I clicked it multiple times all throughout the process and repeated it several times but nothing happens, it just boots up normally!
Please help me

Look:

I followed this guide to install Linux ubuntu, however, at precisely 4 minutes and 45 seconds he says to press F10 to open the boot menu. If I press F2 there is also some sort of "menu" that pops up, however, I am clueless on what to change.
Please help me run Linux Ubuntu

Welcome to the Dell Community @Hans Carlo Sirch
Try disconnecting the AC adapter, Main battery and CMOS coin-cell battery.

Hold power button down for 3-5 seconds then reassemble.
Best regards,
