[Swlug] Install Linux on ASUS Vivobook

I have a reasonably new ASUS Vivobook with Windows 11 installed. I would 
really like to get rid of Windows 11 and install a Linux distribution 
instead.

I've downloaded Ubuntu onto a memory stick, but can't get any further 
because I can't find any way to alter the boot order. The BIOS  screen 
appears when I repeatedly hit Esc on startup, but as far as I can see 
there is no option to allow the machine to look for a USB stick before 
it boots from the hard drive. Searching the internet came up with any 
number of suggestions, but none of them works for me as the options they 
mention don't appear on my BIOS screen.

Does anyone know where I can find the option to boot from USB, or any 
other way of getting Linux installed on  this machine?

Thanks in advance

Peter
