        You will find F4 at the top left of your keyboard, in between F3 and F5.

            You are in a UEFI system, so you don’t have the Fn options. But you still have 2 options.

            A. In Customize Boot (text menu), in the forth/fifth selection, you choose toram

            B. At the bottom of your boot screen (not shown in your image, but should be there) it says
            Press ‘e’ to edit entry
            When you hit the ‘e’ key you can write toram as a boot option. Then hit F10
            it should be in the third line. Example:
            ... quiet splash=v disable=lx toram

                    If you want to use the F keys like you are used to, can you set that computer to boot legacy bios and not UEFI?

                    Posting the specifications of that new computer would help

                      Or reboot and choose the safe or failsafe option to see if it will boot to desktop (forget toram for now)

                        can you set that computer to boot legacy bios

                        but how?

                        to see if it will boot to desktop: yes, only an antix black screen

                            Is it a new antiX 19.2.1 base or is it your special remaster?
                            What CPU and GPU are you using?
                            Some new computers will only boot with newer kernels, you could try the 4.19 kernel

                            Let us know a bit more about the computer.
