Hello, I have an Acer Aspire f5-573G-28xs and an external Samsung Evo SSD with UNIX on it.
I can't see it in my BIOS nor in my F12 Boot manager.

Why is that? It works on my Desktop as well as the computers at school.
 
Solution
Have a look at your UEFI/BIOS:

- you have to boot with UEFI, not with BIOS (Legacy);
- your SATA devices have to be set to AHCI;
- Fast Boot, Fast Startup and Secure Boot must all be disabled.
