Thanks for all that, Alan. So, concretely, let's take for instance the Compaq machine which I successfully converted from Windows 8 to Ubuntu 12.10 using a USB stick. Given that F2 no longer works, and that the Windows 8 machinery for getting into UEFI us no longer there, how in fact would I get into UEFI on that machine if for some reason I needed to? The answer is, install Boot-Repair from repositories: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
F2 isn't a universal BIOS hot-key. It may be some other key, often F10 on Compaq machines.
