    Hello,

    Unfortunately, Windows Boot Manager is not designed to boot Linux ISOs. It is only intended to boot Windows operating systems.

    Linux is not a product of Microsoft. Thus, to boot a Linux ISO, we recommend that you consult Linux technicians.

    Have a nice day.

    Best Regards,

    Hania
