You would need to select FreeDOS.

You should also read this as some distros make BIOS upgrade quite straight forward; https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318789

But if your system ain't broke then don't fix it, otherwise it could become an expensive brick.

looks like for very expert user, i don't want to do it
thread can be close thank you

not sure is it for Linux Lite too or not

thank you Jon

i will try it out when i get a chance

thank you Jon but when i inserted USB flash drive and boot order as USB flash drive, still it won't boot from USB flash drive

::bump:: still waiting for reply

f23948 instead of changing the boot order you should be able to just push f9 to bring up the boot device options and select the usb device you are trying to boot from.

given the age of computer I sure you have no need to update bios

if its not broken don't have fix it

ok

my computer is very old and there's no update for BIOS available, correct?
