Hi Paul, If I were you, I wouldn't start from here. I'd start by using the unofficial non-free iso that includes firmware. I would enable TPM and Secure Boot - both work in Debian 11. https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/unofficial/non-free/cd-including-firmware/11.3.0+nonfree/amd64/iso-cd/firmware-11.3.0-amd64-netinst.iso Again, I wouldn't use Balena Etcher - I would use dd if you have a Linux machine around - you can always reformat the USB drive afterwards. https://www.debian.org/releases/bullseye/amd64/ gives you the installation guide. F12 will give you a boot order, yes. With every good wish, as ever, Andy Cater
