Can you make a video on how to do this? I can't seem to get my F2A to go into boot menu.

If repeatedly pressing F7 just after pushing the power button doesn't result in entering the Boot Menu, try pressing and holding F7.

I've tried both ways several times and I still can't get it to work.

Just out of curiosity, do you use a Bluetooth keyboard? If so, this is likely the problem, as the Bluetooth module isn't yet active on Startup and doesn't become so until Windows itself starts. If this is the case, hopefully you have either a wired or wireless (USB dongle type) keyboard to use, at least for this.
If it's not a Bluetooth keyboard, I would contact barry directly at
barry@minipcunion.com and explain the issue you're having entering the Boot Menu.

Okay, I tried a different wired keyboard and got it to open the boot menu! But now when I try to choose the usb device, it doesn't do anything. I've tried two different usbs and I made sure they were formatted to FAT32 first. Any suggestions? I really appreciate all the help!

In that case, I would reach out to barry directly at the email listed above and explain what going on.

I figured it out. I was an idiot.
When I copied the files to the USB, because he said all files to the root, I took the two boot files out of the folder. I erased the usb, moved the files onto it exactly as they were, and it worked like it was supposed to.

Glad to hear it worked.
