Question about a weird Lenovo ThinkPad T14 that wouldn't boot from USB
I mean, I had this client's laptop in the shop last week and it took me like 4 hours to figure out why the bootable USB just wouldn't show up. Turns out the BIOS had a hidden 'USB legacy support' setting that was turned off, and it was buried under three different menus. Has anyone else run into this on newer Lenovo business models?

That "hidden setting" thing sounds like a one-off problem. Most people just need to tap F12 at startup and pick their USB drive. I've fixed a bunch of these and it's usually just secure boot being on, not some secret menu. Spending four hours on it seems like overkill when the fix is often right on the main boot screen.
