When I tried to boot ubuntu, I noticed that I should press F12 for the Boot Menu. But my keyboard's F12 and F2 is on the same key.
Normally, I can press Fn+F2 for F12 after the boot process. However, I can't access the boot menu, it only takes me into the BIOS settings(which should be activated using F2). Instead of changing my keyboard, what else can I do? Thanks

No, you shouldn't need to press any key to boot a correctly installed Ubuntu, single or dual-boot. And the ability to press F12 - one-time boot menu? -, with an actual F12 key or a combo must work independently and regardless of the installed OS or OSes because it's a BIOS/UEFI feature that can only be used before any OS starts to boot.

Try without Fn. Sometimes things are reversed pre-boot.

Access boot priority menu
The boot priority settings are often found under the Boot tab of the computer's BIOS/UEFI utility. The BIOS/UEFI utility can be accessed by pressing the key which is shown on the manufacturer's splash screen when booting. This is the F12 key on many computers. The keys to press, such as F12, F2, Del or Esc, differ on computers from different manufacturers. When grub bootloader is installed it does not change the key which is used to access the BIOS/UEFI utility.
There is a table of keys used to access the BIOS/UEFI setup utility grouped by manufacturer and computer model at this answer.
Access GRUB menu
Immediately after the BIOS/UEFI splash screen during boot, with BIOS, quickly press and hold the Shift key, which will bring up a GNU GRUB menu screen. With UEFI press (perhaps several times) the Esc key to get to the GNU GRUB menu screen. Sometimes the manufacturer's splash screen is a part of the Windows bootloader, so when you power up the machine it goes straight to the GNU GRUB menu screen, and then pressing Shift is unnecessary.
