Unable to boot from LiveUSB on Razer 2017 Windows 10

I'd like to install Ubuntu 17.04 which has the 4.13 kernel alongside Windows 10 on my fancy dancy new Razer Blade Kaby Lake so that I have an OS I know and love. I followed the instructions here and seem to have a working bootable drive that appears in the boot menu when I restart my machine, but selecting it does nothing. I've disabled FastBoot and SecureBoot in my BIOS and also tried switching the boot order of the devices (making my hard-drive boot option 2 and the removable USB boot option 1) but I still can't boot from the USB device. A few details about the machine:

Razer Blade Pro 2017 (Kaby Lake)

Windows 10

Aptio 2017

Any tips or suggestions much appreciated, thanks!

edit-

Thanks for the pointers to this I had read that and unless I'm reading it wrong, the suggestion is to use a kernel version higher than 4.11. As Ubuntu 17.10 has kernel 4.13 I don't think it helps here (happy to be proven wrong though).
