Ken, welcome to these public User Forums.

Most Dell computers use the F12 key to access the Boot Device selection menu on initial start from cold.

When booting from the Acronis rescue media, you need to ensure that you match the BIOS boot mode used by your Windows OS.

See KB 59877: Acronis True Image: how to distinguish between UEFI and Legacy BIOS boot modes of Acronis Bootable Media

One further point, make sure that you do a full shutdown when wanting to boot from USB media and are not in a hybrid sleep / hibernation type state.  Press the Shift key when clicking on Shutdown in Windows, or else open a Command prompt and type 'shutdown /s /f /t 0' to force a full shutdown.
