Most devices now allow you to directly boot through USB; if this option is not available, then you can change the boot order from the BIOS. Look for options at start-up before the system brand’s logo is displayed.
These options are accessed by F keys; the most commonly used key to access BIOS is F11.
Note: This tool is also used for creating bootable media for Windows 8, 8.1, and 10. The procedure is the same.
