From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Don't you have an option to boot from usb in the BIOS?
Note that accessing the boot menus is not always with F12. Sometimes it's also ESC, F1, F2 or DEL. You should try those.
Its the boot menu for sure.
Maybe I need to set "legacy first" to boot from USB?
There is no "boot from USB" in the BIOS and the F12 menu doesnt show devices, just UEFI entries.
The BIOS should have a boot order option. You could set you USB as first priority there. Your USB may need to be plugged in to appear in this list.
Ok thats a valid point. I will try to plug it in.
