Trouble booting Ubuntu LiveUSB on Nextbook flexx 9
I have a Nextbook flexx 9 tablet/laptop running full Windows 10, and want to install Ubuntu Linux from a LiveUSB.
I used pendrivelinux to burn Ubuntu iso onto my microSD card. Navigated to Settings/Update & Security/Recovery/Advanced Startup "Reset now" to enter bootup options (Holding f12 or f2 do not work). within the options "use a device", there is only
-windows recovery
-efi usb device
-efi DVD/CD ROM
-efi network
I chose USB device, after which it tells me that my system doesn't have a USB boot option. I researched this issue and learned I must use legacy boot, but I cannot find any setting which adjusts this. I am new to this level of technical involvement, so navigation has been largely guesswork.
UPDATE:
More things I tried, such as using mint instead of Ubuntu, using a USB stick instead of microSD card, and using a different program to burn the Iso onto it. The drive simply refuses to be seen in the boot options.

I am not familiar with this specific hardware. However, if you install Ubuntu in legacy boot then Windows 10 won't boot. You will need to install both Windows and Ubuntu either in UEFI or in legacy boot mode. Since Windows is already installed in UEFI mode, you will have to install Ubuntu in the same mode.

First, how did you create the LiveUSB Ubuntu installer? 2) Which app made it? 3) Did you make it for EFI or for Legacy/MBR? 4) Did you verify the download with its checksum? 5) Do you have an external USB CD or DVD drive? Also, gotta warn ya, 32GB of internal storage for the C: drive won't go far if you try to add Linux to it. Windows 10 is getting so porcine, it won't update if you have a lot of stuff in Windows, and adding Linux? Could be a problem.

Have you checked that your machine is capable of booting from the Micro SDcard (not all computers can do so). The fact that the SDcard isn't listed as one of the available boot options would seem to suggest that this is the problem. If this is the case, then you need to burn the ISO file to a USB flash drive or a CD/DVD. Both of these devices are listed for your system..

Disk drive isn't an option as there isn't one on the device, and I did try using a microSD to USB converter and plugging it into a USB port, which didn't fix it.
