Yesterday I bought an HP 15-AF070NG, which was very cheap. My avarice (it's not for nothing that the Roman Catholic church qualifies it as one of the seven deadly sins) was punished immediately because, when I tried to read the first DVD of openSUSE 13.2, the computer booted Windows in spite. Nor was there any possibility to access Bios because none of the usual keys, F2, F6 or F8, worked.
So I returned the computer to the store where I had bought it for trying out other models, also much more expensive ones, e.g. Asus, Acer, and I don't remember which others. But I did not find any that booted from the openSUSE 13.2 DVD or granted me access to Bios. Eventually, I got my money back, thanks to God they were so generous.
On my opinion, Microsoft now has contracts with the computer makers obliging them, not to give any possibility to the costumers to run an operating system different from Windows.
Do you know any remedy or work-around?
Thank you in advance, Wolfgang Müller
