With windows 10 hold down shift then click on shutdown or restart. You will
get the advanced boot options, where you can get to the UEFI firmware
settings(ie bios options). Windows 10 likes to not actually shut down all
the way but using fastboot to more or less come back from sleep(kind of).

Can you share steps how you get into the BIOS to boot from a linux live USB?
I have one coming soon.
I am a bit concern that these newer laptops may have something incompatible
so I also want to try with a live USB first.
( I am planning to use Linux Mint)
thanks

Make sure you POWER OFF (not REBOOTING) the laptop before trying to get
into the bios. I've had similar issues where I couldn't get into bios
because you can only do so after a full power off. Some care, others don't,
but worth a try.

Never mind, I finally succeeded. Xubuntu Live is running. The
touchscreen and the wifi are both working, so I'm going to hit the
Install icon.
My Dell Latitude 7275 2-in-1 was delivered an hour ago. My plan was to
boot to an Xubuntu 21.10 live USB to figure out if it would even work
and, if it does work, then install it, wiping out the Windows 10
already installed.
I have the Xubuntu USB plugged in, but the laptop just boots directly
