Windows installation of Q4OS Scorpion does not work

Dear All,
I am new on Q4OS and I try to run it within my Windows 10. I am using an ACER ASPIRE ES 11 (ES1-132-C9NX).
I have tried live 4QOS on a pen drive and It Works fine. I also try intallation using installer on live distro and I have no success (no bootable device) so after some try and error attempts I have recovered Windows 10 to boot.
After this I have tried the Windows installation but it was also failed. The boot menu (F12) does not show Q4OS and I cannot select Q4OS or any other because BIOS does not give any opportunity to select boot file location or selection.
I have no idea how I can run installed Q4OS in this device so any help is really appreciated.
I guess I could prepare a USB key to run Windows installed Q4OS but I don't know how to do it from live USB for example.
Thanks a lot for your support and the fantastic distro you have.
Kind Regards.

Re: Windows installation of Q4OS Scorpion does not work

Dear All, thanks a lot for your quick anwer.
I have followed the instructions. Installation was Ok without any problema. But when selected "boot now" computer boot on Windows 10 and no way to boot Q4OS. Also it does not appear on boot menú (F12). I am usinf an ACER ASPIRE ES 11 (ES1-132-C9NX) with bios v.1.08 and GOP driver 10.0.1030. Probably  key problem is in step 3. There is no way on my UEFI/BIOS Setup to enroll a MOK. In fact I cannot select boot Q4OS because it does not appear in my boot menu (F12)
Also I have seen video and Windows 10 boot menú does not appear.
Secure boot is enabled and in boot priority it does not appear Q4OS.
Thanks a lot for your help.
