I have a Panasonic FZ-M1 stuck on Windows 11 which I can't even get into because I long forgot the pin and I don't want Windows 11 on it anyway I want to install Debian 13 to it but I can not get it to boot from USB. I can access the BIOS just fine but there are no options to set the USB too BOOT.

The BIOS version is American Megatrends 2.15.1234 V2.00L23
I've enabled the BOOT pop up menu in the BIOS but that hasn't done anything.

The only other options are:

UEFI BOOT
CSM Support
UEFI Priorities

I bought this on ebay some years back and it came with a foreign version of Windows 11 installed which I had previously reset to English. I want to get all the rubbish off it, wipe the SSD and have Debian 13 running on it.

Edit: I managed to get into it and I've written the Windows 11 pin down this time so I remember it. I still need to get Debian on it tho.

Any help would be appreciated.

Its the same bootable USB that I've used to install Debian on other computers... I will get another USB hub and see if that fixes the issue because the tablet only has one USB port and I need a keyboard plugged in plus the USB drive in order to install it.

I've installed Linux before on another Panasonic FZ-M1 but that had a different BIOS version as it was a newer model to the one I'm struggling with.
