not quite getting what you meant, have you already installed the OS you are having trouble booting up? 

or is it that you have trouble getting into the installation screen?

If you can still boot into Windows 8.1 you can boot to BIOS/UEFI from there.
 

  1. Press the Windows (icon_Windows8_key.png) key + C, or swipe in from the right edge of the screen to open your Charms.
  2. Click Settings.
  3. Click Change PC Settings.
  4. Click Update and recovery, then select Recovery.
  5. To the right beneath Advanced Startup, click Restart now.
  6. Once the boot menu appears, select Troubleshoot.
  7. In the Troubleshoot menu, select Advanced options.
  8. In the Advanced options menu, click UEFI Firmware Settings.
  9. Click Restart. The system will restart and enter UEFI (BIOS).
