If you want to boot into a USB drive, how do you change your boot settings?

To boot into a USB drive, changing the boot settings in the BIOS is the essential step. The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is firmware that initializes hardware during the startup process before handing control to the operating system. By accessing the BIOS setup, you can modify the sequence of devices that the computer checks when starting up. Setting the USB drive as the primary boot device enables the system to recognize and boot from the USB drive first, allowing you to install an operating system or run recovery tools from there.

The other options do not address how to set the boot device effectively. Simply replacing hardware, logging into the system, or wiping the computer does not facilitate booting from a USB drive. Adjusting the boot order in the BIOS is crucial for initiating the process from external devices like USB drives.
