Dell XPS MoBo settings menu is usually entered by pressing F2 at start up -
check the manual for it. You can disable Secure Boot from the Boot menu and
also select the first bootable device. The bootable device can also be
selected by pressing F12 at start up. Secure Boot won't allow you changing
hardware on these MoBos - unless the UEFI firmware inc. drivers has been
signed by Microsoft. A lock-in some/all? OEMs and hardware manufacturers have
capitulated on, unless you use the RHL shim and MOK (Machine Owner Key)
manager to sign/boot GRUB and from GRUB you can then boot the OS of your
choice.
Simplest, slimmest solution is to disable Secure Boot, then use efibootmgr
application in Linux to edit the OS kernel images ordered list in the UEFI
boot menu. For multibooting different kernels/OS/devices, at any time you can
press F12 at start up.
