Description of Issue

Cannot enter the bios with F2 key during boot (screen remains black). With F10 I enter the boot screen. I tried some other keys with no result.

Probably the res of your TV. Do you have a monitor?

Hi @guiver — I’d like to second @xxx’s suggestion — Any change if you use a different TV / monitor?

I connected an older Dell monitor now (had to order a new VGA-cable first). it is easier now that I can sit on my desk, but unfortenatly it makes no difference with the TV. The NUC still tries to log in on the Windows installation and doesn’t accept F2 to go to bios.
Is it possible that it will work with another key, or can I one way or another first delete the Windows installation.
Thanks for help.

Remove the installed SSD from NUC, make changes in BIOS and then install SSD again and start ROCK installation.

Instead of the Windows ssd (unknown Kingston), I installed a new and faster one (Samsung 970 EVO Plus). I keep the old ssd in case of a windows install is necessary (on this NUC or another).
As far as I can assess, the installation of ROCK is ok. But I cannot try it yet because I don’t have the new audio gear already. Ordered, I expect it one of these days.
Thanks a lot. Perfect service you give guys…
