As the title says, my bootable usb is not showing up in the boot menu for my ThinkPad e14 AMD ryzen 5 7530u , gen 5 I think. I have disabled secure boot in the uefi and disabled fast startup in windows. Am I missing anything ? Note: this is my first time using a uefi bios so I don’t know if there are any other kinks to mess with .

Edit : I contacted lenovo support for the above issue but even they couldn’t find the answer so I guess won’t be using linux for this laptop. But since it’s for uni I guess it’s fine. I will just use WSL

Edit 2: Reinstalled the bios , the usb boots now . Finally slapped opensuse on it and now running it

    Some uefi set ups have usb boot disabled by default. It may be worth having a poke around and seeing if yours does.

        The only other thing I can think of is, are you absolutely sure the key is the right type, efi or mbr, depending on how you’re booting?

          It’s gpt due to the disk management, I went with it.
