Startup recovery manager does not prompt for F11
Hello, I'm a new user. I've been using Acronis for years and I just got a new HP Zbook 14 laptop with Windows 10. I have Acronis Secure Zone on my D: drive and when I activate Acronis Recovery Manager, nothing happes at boot time. I'm not prompted for F11. I've used with in older versions on older laptops and it worked ok. My book disk as SSD formatted as MBR. Appreciate any help.

I have an HP that doesn't always pick up key presses after restart either. Try disconnectiong AC power, pulling the battery, and dissipating the remaining charge by pressing the power button a few times. When you power up again, then try F11. Also, are you sure it's still F11? On my HP, it's ESC and F1 that get me into the Bios and/or that let me select a different boot drive.
On your new laptop, is secure boot enabled in the bios? If so, you may not be able to boot to anythign other than the default Windows installation. Most Bios will let you disable this though.
Once you're able to boot into your Acronis bootable media, as was mentioned by the above post, the linux version may not always detect hardware - I have a laptop with a flash based EMMC 64GB hard drive and ATIH LInux recovery does not detect it, but Windows PE recovery media does.
