Open the lid, with the power cable plugged in to the wall, press the circular button on the top right corner on the keyboard surface area. It is above the "Pgdn" key.

BIOS. Yes you can run linux on it easily. Now if you went with windows 8 or 8.1 it'll be a bit tricky.

According to the internet, you may need BIOS rev 3. Maybe check with Gigabyte's support?

Easy if it is the same computer model. If not then you will have to boot in safe mode and delete all the system drivers and it"might" work.

You would push in the button "before" boot up/power on. I use this item for cloning one hd to another, or just booting up from a different drive.

most definitely it can boot via this card. I am using it as the source for sata drives and have only one HD on it and of course it boots, the bios has to see it then the drive and boot sequence is set in order of preference.

Search for it on youtube.. you have to make sure the bios is setup to boot off of the SdCard or USb boot. There are some options in the bios to do this.

This is a barebones pc. You need to buy the processor, hard drive, memory, and OS seperately and install them.

Be prepared for a fight to get it installed. You have to do a couple of things first because of Windows 8. First go into the bios by hitting delete on start up and disable secure boot. Then dig around in bios to find and enable the legacy boot option. I'm sorry I can't tell you exactly what that is called but it wasn't hard to find. You may also need to make sure you have the latest drivers for the NVidia product you are installing. Then, as Jel said, you should upgrade at least the power supply to a minimum of 500 watts. My GTX-650 SC is running just fine with a 550 watt PS and just the stock RAM. Be prepared for a fight to get it installed. You have to do a couple of things first because of Windows 8.
