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

    Not with a uefi one , a legacy one I never had to care about since mbr would only work. And I created the ventoy mbr on the old laptop, and if that doesn’t show up means it is strange . Though one more thing I found odd was the efi partition does not show up on the file explorer in the new laptop but shows up on the old one.

      I’m seeing plenty of other people out there saying that on this very specific model, disabling secure boot was the fix. Maybe also try a different USB drive.
