Boot via USB stick?

Moin, currently my mother has to work from home with a USB stick because all her data is on it and what she has to edit. With her laptop everything is written in a very small way, which is why she wanted to do it on my PC. With her laptop she can insert the USB stick and restart the laptop and then simply press Esc, Ctrl and Alt at the same time, then she comes into this hedgehog program from the USB stick and can then log in. But nothing happens to me even though the USB stick is recognized. Therefore my question, can I boot from the BIOS with the USB stick?

Then you have to go to the boot menu before the PC boots. Look here:

I don't really understand it, but you can set the boot sequence in the BIOS.

Just plug your monitor into your laptop?

Yes.

You have to go to the BIOS and rearrange the boot order there so that the computer tries to boot from a USB device before it starts from the built-in hard drive.

Exactly how this works, i.e. How you get into the BIOS (usually hold down any key when starting the computer) and how you change the boot order there, you have to look for yourself on the basis of your BIOS.

On your PC, it may be another combination that you use to get into the boot menu. You can also access the boot menu via the BIOS and boot from there using the stick. Take a look on the Internet to see how you can enter the BIOS on your PC.

Can't I just click on the USB stick? If it says in the BIOS that I can choose how I want to boot now

Was already in the BIOS many times because of xmp and so, but no plan like that with booting I look at a few tutorials

Did I also say I'll tell her again then I don't have to change anything that I may regret

Can't I just click on the USB stick?

When do you want to click that? Does a menu come up when the computer starts? Or do you mean if you are already in Windows?

What I don't know (that is not evident from your question):

Does the computer now have to boot from the USB stick? Or does the IGEL software just have to be started within your operating system?

If it is the second, you can of course just open the USB stick in Windows and double-click the program in question to start it.

If it says in the BIOS that I can choose how I want to boot now

I'm sorry, I do not understand this sentence.

Do that
