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
I have basically the same laptop (it’s an E16, but with the same CPU - it’s just the 16-inch version of your laptop). Make sure you press enter, press F1 to go into BIOS, then go into Security > Secure Boot and enable “Allow Microsoft 3rd Party CA”. That worked like a charm for me.
If you’re still having problems, try writing down the steps you have taken (down to the key combinations; some pictures would be nice as well). I should have all the same settings menus.
Don’t worry, though, you’ve made a good choice; I’ve been loving my Thinkpad E16.
Weird. What distro is on it, what program did you flash it with, and does it show up in the file manager on another machine?
The first was the ventoy one with mbr which I was fine other machines I have used it before with. It had like endeavour os , opensuse, pop os , linux mint windows 11 etc…
But I also reformatted it with windows 11 from meda creation tool as well to check but that also doesnt work which is the most strangest part
