I have an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-54-549R with two M.2 NVMe drives. I installed a 1TB ADATA SSD and a 128GB Stock Kingstone SSD. I tried booting Pop on the Kingstone drive using F12, and it works fine. Pop also boots normally from F2. But when I press F2 to enter BIOS, I encounter a black screen with just a single white character flashing. I’m confused and worried because I already installed Windows first, and I don’t want to risk losing it. Is there a way to fix this issue? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Turn off quick startup so you can go through BIOS first, then choose advanced boot settings to switch to UEFI.

Also consider turning off fast boot.
1. Shut down the device.
2. Hold the power button for up to 3 seconds (maximum 4 seconds) and check the power options.
3. Select F3 to turn off fast boot.
