I have an Aspire E15 E5-573G-531D laptop (with WIndows 10) and I was originally unable to boot from CD/DVD/USB stick, but I've now solved it and here's how. For Windows highlight Windows Boot Manager and press Enter. To boot Ubuntu highlight the grubењ†4efi and press Enter.

Or you can move the ''EFI File Boot 0: grubењ†4efi' to the eight position and boot up in Ubuntu.ДЇor stealth reasons you can let your laptop default boot into Windows, but if you need Ubuntu when you power on the Laptop press the F12 key repeatedly until the 'Boot Manager's' window opens.

Whenever you turn on your laptop it will boot up in Windows. Cursor over to the 'Boot' item and you will see a ninth boot file added: 'EFI File Boot 0: grubењ†4efi.' If you choose to leave the boot order alone.

Now restart the laptop and return to the BIOS menu.

The 'Add an new file' window will appear in the middle of the screen with the question: 'Do you wish to add this file to allowable database?' In the 'Boot Description' type in grubењ†4.efi and press the Enter key twice.

, shimењ†4.efi, grubењ†4.efi, and MokManager.efi.

On my laptop two items they look like folders show up: 'EFI and Temp.' Highlight EFI and press Enter.

The 'Security' window will show HDD0 in white letters.

Use the right cursor key to highlight 'Security' and use the down cursor key to highlight 'Select an UEFI file as trusted for executing' and press Enter.

Restart the laptop as we did back in Step 1.

The only OS recognized by the UEFI firmware at this time is Windows. Warning: If you think the laptop will now boot up and let you choose which OS you want to run. After you select reboot you will be instructed to remove the Ubuntu DVD from the DVD ROM drive.

After Ubuntu is installed you will be instructed to reboot your laptop.

The installation program divided it like so:

Select the option 'Install Ubuntu alongside Windows.' The installation program will divide the Windows partition.

If not go back into the 'Boot' item in the BIOS menu and make sure the laptop's DVD is at the top of the boot devices.

When you restart, if the boot order is set correctly you should boot up in Ubuntu.

Close the DVD tray and restart your laptop.

Open the DVD tray and insert your LiveDVD of Ubuntu.

Press F10 to Save your modifications and Exit BIOS.

Cursor over to the 'Boot' menu item and arrange these items.

I believe I have an answer that allows you to install Ubuntu 14.04.2 alongside Windows 8.1 on an Acer Aspire ES1-512. After several unsuccessful attempts to install Ubuntu alongside Windows. As it happens this course requires the students to use Ubuntu. Recently, I bought an Acer Aspire ES1-512 for a college course.
