Asus SW5-012 trying to do dual boot Linux
I have an Asus Aspire SW5-012 and cannot disable secure boot.
I get into BIOS just fine. It's 5.0 setup utility. The system BIOS version is V1.13. When I go to the security tab, secure boot mode is on standard and refuses to respond. It's a touchscreen and secure boot setting refuses to respond.
I have a live XUbuntu 18.4. I believe that the version is USB READY and plugged in. Windows Explorer sees it, but it refuses to boot. I know the touch screen won't work after that and I don't care.
linux windows boot

There is no option for csm...i read if you don't do it before win 10 installation you can't do it. Doesn't make sense but I checked every tab. Under the boot tab I have secure boot set to disabled and usb as the top of boot order. But under security secure boot says standard and doesn't react to touches or mouse clicks. And I have had a supervisor password set and is very annoying. Thank you

How to boot Acer Aspire Switch 10 from external media? Here. John Stiles said that only the micro usb port works in the Bios so you will need an adapter. Also here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8muPGQY8x3g (You can see in this video that he has his usb drive plugged into an male micro usb to usb type A female adapter)

Hey....just got back from the worst vacation ever, helping a friend move from Texas to Cali. I got the usb female to micro male adapter. The switch 10 sees it in Windows explorer and I booted from XUbuntu from yet another desktop merely by changing boot order and pressing f12 on startup. Even though I've followed all John stiles directions only Windows boot manager shows up with f12. Thinking it's not possible
