Ok, after 30+ years of running Linux on everything and building and 
running many clusters of Linux computers all over the place, I'm finally 
stumped with this one,  Here's the thumb drive image of Debian 12 I 
created by dd'ing the .iso to the drive.

As seen by the Linux boot menu:



And Linux when I selected it:



Now on IdeaPad 5 2-in-1 14Q8X9 and Windoz 11 boot menu:


Not seen!  Windoz BIOS:


No control over UEFI option.  Now when I select the drive in Windoz:


Then when I cancel formatting the drive:


Definitely looks like Windoz is not using UEFI and not recognizing the 
format.  I've searched everywhere to find out how to fix this. It has 
been completely frustrating.  No wonder I've stayed away from these 
pathetic operating systems my entire career.

But, still would appreciate any ideas that might help.
