Who Me Too'd this topic

Not sure if anyone else has tried this but...

I have inherited a small Medion Akoya notebook. when purchased it had windows 7 installed, but was upgrade to windows 10. The memory now is far to small to do much. I wanted to install Linux os on it from a flash drive. I have followed all the various instructions on how to do this and changed the boot order, but each time It loads Windows. Is it just not possible to load another OC on an intel Atom PC?
